Welcome toThe High Corn Mill
One of Skipton's best kept secrets. A hydro powered historic watermill, home to independent shops, businesses and a fantastic holiday let.
Records show that the Mill dates back as far as 1310, when it was owned by Robert de Clifford, having been handed to the powerful Clifford family by the then King Edward II. What we see of the Mill today is only half of what existed back then, when two mills operated to produce corn for the whole of Skipton.
Today an ongoing programme of renovation has transformed the ancient building into a delightful community of independent local shops, offices and services, still powered by the waters of Eller Beck.
