The current Howsham Mill is on the site of an earlier mill built in 1755 that milled flour for the Howsham Estate for almost 200 years.

The mill fell into ruins in the mid 1900s before being picked up by the Renewable Heritage Trust and restored to all its glory in 2006. Today, the mill is an events space, environmental education centre and produces energy in the form of hydroelectricity.

On the corner of the River keep an eye out for the water turbines. Be careful going up the stairs as this can be slippy in the mornings due to frost or overnight rain.

An interesting spot here: a weir on the River Derwent, with Howsham Mill on the opposite bank of the river. The 18th century Howsham Mill had previously fallen into disrepair, but has now been restored.
