Welcome to Coldharbour Mill, a 200 year old spinning mill set in the tranquil village of Uffculme, Devon. Built by Thomas Fox to spin woollen and later worsted yarns in 1799, Coldharbour Mill is a rare example of surviving Georgian architecture, industry and enterprise.

Since reopening as a museum in 1982 the mill has continued to produce high quality worsted knitting yarn on its period machinery. Take an exciting factory tour and marvel at the spinning frames and power looms, the enterprise and ingenuity of Thomas Fox and how Quaker attitudes influenced the treatment and welfare of mill employees.

Take a look at the mill?s impressive array of power sources including a recently restored 1821 High Breast Shot water wheel, the largest in the South West, and a rare 1910 Pollit & Wigzell 300hp steam engine and Galloway Boiler, which we steam on special event days (see the museum?s event page).

The mill also has a licensed cafe and mill shop that sells many unique products manufactured exclusively by the mill. The Fox Gallery and World War II Exhibition is open when Stewards are available. Enquire at the Shop when purchasing your tickets.

With this and so much more, a visit to Coldharbour Mill is an exciting and very different day out.
