Welcome to Eskdale Mill

Eskdale Mill has new winter times between November and April

Come and visit us and enjoy our newly restored waterwheels, machinery and interactive exhibition. Suitable for all ages and abilities, including well-behaved dogs. We are wheelchair friendly in limited places.

Winter opening times are from 11.00-15.30 on scheduled days only. Open some weekends in December, February and March and during the festive season from 20th December – 2nd January. Closed on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Open throughout the February half-term holiday from Saturday 15th-Sunday 23rd. We suggest you give yourself at least half an hour for your visit or as long as you want!

This historic building and its working machinery are rare survivors of a bygone age. Find out more about the mill’s history here.
