Tocketts Watermill
Recommended by
Overview
Just a mile out of Guisborough, on the A173 in the direction of Skelton, is Tocketts Mill. The water of Tocketts Beck still turns the waterwheel of this old flour-mill, and on certain milling days – usually Sundays in summer – you can see one of the most complete working water mills in England in action. Wheat, rye, beans, peas and oats were brought to be ground here, using millstones with evocative names such as bluestones, French burrs and Derbyshire greys. In addition, the lower floor of the mill was used as a buttery. The mill and house have been fully restored.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
