Tips
Thought to date from the 15th century, the ruins of Aberfelin Mill are a vestige of the region's industrial past. The mill was used to grind wheat and barley and it ceased operation in 1918. By this time it was cheaper to import wheat from overseas. The mill featured in the Welsh language poem 'Melin Trefin' by Crwys.

The ruins of Aberfelin Corn Mill stand over Aberdraw Bay. They probably date from the fifteenth century. On the western gable was a wheel driven by a mill pond. The mill probably stopped operating in 1918.
The place inspired Crwys (William Williams) to write the poem "Felin Trefin".translated by
