The wheels range in size, the largest spanning 18ft in diameter, which would generate around 30 horsepower. You can regularly see the waterwheels in action today.
***The Hamlet is currently closed for the winter until spring 2025. During this time, we'll be continuing work on Embrace Abbeydale, a two-year programme of improvement works generously supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.***
Joni, the Hamlet cafe, is open daily throughout the winter
