Trevethoe: Trevethoe Mill

In 1996 this mill site was operating as the Watermill Restaurant. It was a grain mill until 1876. It then served as a water pump to Trevethoe village, the overshot G H Harris waterwheel, cast in Wadebridge, dating from this period. Pumping ceased in about 1970; the high level leat has been breached to provide an entrance to the car park
