Coldharbour Mill

One of the oldest woolen mills in the UK, Coldharbour Mill in Uffculme, Devon, has been producing wool since 1797. The Mill, which was formerly operated by the eminent textile manufacturers Fox Brothers, processed fleece from all over the world into yarn, fabric, and textiles. Today, the rich past is preserved as one of the best working wool museums where visitors can experience the sights and sounds of the industrial revolution as well as see artisans create handmade carpets, gorgeous knitting yarn, and traditional textiles.

The magnificent chimney that towers over the village of Uffculme and the distinct aroma of wool and oil are just a few of the sights and smells that may be experienced during a visit to Coldharbour Mill. The factory floor has remained virtually intact since Victorian times, with line shafts distributing power throughout the facility. Many of the exhibits are interactive.

The tale is told through guided tours by skilled artisans, and the café is situated on the brink of the leat where fish and kingfishers now rule the canal. The factory store offers a variety of products made at the Mill. There are also kid-friendly pathways and dress-up opportunities. For frequent visitors, we offer a membership program with extra privileges.
