Welcome

The Hele Corn Mill (or 'Old Corn Mill') is a unique working watermill in north Devon! Just a stone's throw away from stunning Hele Bay, a visit to the mill makes a perfect family day out whatever the weather!

Guided tours are given by the family who run the mill, and children and adults alike will enjoy learning about the history of the mill, from how flour has been made here over the centuries, to some of the mishaps which have befallen the millers!

One of the highlights of our tour is our 1920s National engine which is in full working order and can be demonstrated for you in our guided tours.

Currently, we use the Blackstone mill to create whole grain flour which you can purchase in our gift shop.

Opposite the mill is the charming tea room, where you can relax and enjoy traditional cream tea, a refreshing glass of home made cordial or a slice of one of our many delicious cakes, which are homemade every day!

Adjacent to the tea room is the Miller's Cottage which is available for holiday bookings all year round.
