Visiting the Mill

Visit Gayle Mill, a unique 19th century state of the art sawmill, complete with working Victorian machinery and water-powered turbines.  Now fully restored and operating as an historic visitor attraction.

All visits to Gayle Mill are Tour Guide led.
On one of our Daily Guided Tours you will:

  • Explore a typical three storey mill built in 1784 to a Richard Arkwright design.  Originally established to process raw cotton, it was converted to a mechanised saw mill in 1879.
  • Gain a unique insight into the workings of a woodworking mill that served the local community for over a century.
  • See English water-powered cutting edge woodworking technology installed in 1879 that is still in regular use today.
  • Experience the atmosphere of the historic sawmill as the water-powered turbines spin to life.
  • Discover 230 years of industrial and social heritage.
