Cold harbour Mill: Bringing the pas t to lif e!

Coldharbour Mill is one of the UK’s oldest working woollen mills. Set in the heart of the Devon countryside and on the bank of the River Culm, this industrial heritage site brings to life the stories of the Industrial Revolution and Textile production through the ages.

You can see a full range of heritage machinery in action, see them fire up their steam boilers and engines on their event days or enjoy their wetland, wellbeing and wildlife space as a chance to relax and stroll in the beautiful Devon landscape. There has been a mill at Coldharbour, Uffculme, since the time of the Domesday Book, with the current woollen mill in continuous production since 1797.

English Heritage described the mill as "probably one of the best-preserved textile mill complexes in the country. It retains the full range of buildings and power system features which characterised the development of the 19th century textile mill with much of the machinery that was used at the site in the 20th century." As well as their exhibitions and nationally significant collections they boast guided and selfguided tours and are situated only 5 minutes from M5, Junction 27 – making Coldharbour Mill a great day out or perfect for a quick stopoff.

Coach parking is available as well as a coach driver care package. Group rates are available and groups can be accommodated all year round. It has a great waterside café for a light bite or cream tea as well as opportunities to browse their heritage produce in their on-site shop.
