"A little way back from Hele Bay in the Hillsborough Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there’s a working 16th century corn mill, grinding and selling wholemeal flour. You can take a tour of this picturesque whitewashed building to see the National Diesel Engine in action and have a go at grinding your own flour with a quern-stone. Hele Corn Mill also has an award-winning tearoom preparing tempting homemade cakes and scones for cream teas using the mill’s own flour."
"Not too far from Hele Bay Beach sits Hele Corn Mill & Tea Room, a water mill which had been milling flour since the 16th century. They have a wide array of cakes to choose from and the outstanding Devonshire cream tea. It is recommended to check opening dates online before going down."

The Ilfracombe Art and Craft Society germinated in the 1960s, and since then has evolved into one of the most popular exhibitions in Devon, perched on the promenade looking out at Capstone Hill. You can buy prints and sculptures by local artists, as well as more extravagant items such as handmade violins and pottery."
