Acorn Bank Watermill Trust

Group Visits

We welcome visits from groups interested in milling or industrial heritage. These need to be booked in advance, can be during the week, and will be charged. We can arrange for volunteers to run the mill and act as tour guides for the group on your visit. Please contact us by email: ab.wt@outlook.com

Visit of Ulverston U3A group

A group from the Ulverston U3A visited us in May 2022. They had a full tour of the mill and also went on an Industrial Heritage walk around the grounds of Acorn Bank to see evidence of gypsum mining
