aboutSectionText

Coldharbour Mill situated in Uffculme, Devon is one of the oldest woollen mills in the UK having been in continuous production since 1797. Originally owned by world-renowned textile producers Fox Brothers, the Mill took fleece from all over the world and transformed it into yarn, cloth and textiles. Today the rich heritage lives on as one of the finest working wool museums where visitors are not just able to relive the sights and sounds of the industrial revolution but also see crafts men and women making traditional textiles, beautiful knitting yarn and hand woven rugs.

Disabled Access Information for Coldharbour Mill Working Wool Museum

disabledAccessText

We have worked hard to make sure our site is accessible as possible for all of our visitors. All of our the Main Factory Museum has flat access with passenger lifts to each exhibit floor. In addition our Café Bar, Shop and Toilet facilities are fully accessible with accessible toilet facilities in both. There are a couple of small areas in the museum which are only accessible via steps at the present time, though we are always working on ways to make all of our exhibits accessible to everyone. These areas are the Beam Engine Balcony (which gives a view of the engine from above) and the Economiser House in the Steam Complex. The main Steam Complex area is accessible but please be aware that there are ramps as the original floor is uneven in places. We are happy to be able to offer the use of our Media Guides to support your journey and experience at the Mill. The guides include narration and voiceovers which describe the processes you can see here are the Mill as well as the history of the site, the Steam Complex and many other interesting topics. Our guides also include a British Sign Language version which is available to all our visitors!
