The High corn mill has had an addition to it already impressive water wheel and hydro turbine. The addition on the Skipton Camper Van, raising funds for charities such as Parkinsons Uk. I even had the chance to purchase a unique camper van T-shirt

The High Corn Mill is truly a hidden gem, we found it by accessing the building from the Canal Towpath at the top end of Town. This entrance lead us through a fantastic furniture shop called the Home Co. We were able to walk round the whole building wish ting the water wheel house. A great place to visit if you have time

After a lovely day wandering around Skipton we stumbled across the high corn mill. It's a fascinating building situated near the castle... Well worth a visit with it's working water wheel, interesting history and lovely shops.

This is an old building dating back I think to the 14th century. You have a chance to release the water but the wheel did not seem to move

Difficult to find entrance and certainly very small but well presented. Informative display and a practical demonstration of how a water wheel works is worth a go.

I have lived less than ten miles from Skipton for more than seventeen years. This is the first time I have seen this little gem.
Secreted away at the top of town about 300m from the Castle this is a small visitor attraction that tells the story of how corn was milled and how the locals were obliged to pay a tithe and have their grain milled here. You can even physically turn on and off a water supply, although I did get a wet arm.
And it’s free!

Skipton's wealth was based on its mills and High Corn Mill is one of the oldest. Not only is it an interesting place to visit in it's own right but when you're there there are so many other places to go, such as the woods, the canal, the castle or just take a walk up Primrose Hill opposite and look across Skipton.

We had a wonderful visit to the Skipton's High Corn Mill. A hidden gem just off the high street, inside it has a range of businesses, shops and salons - something to suit all. It also has a working waterwheel, definitely the highlight of the building, which allows you to see how the corn mill used to operate all those years ago!
