Aberdaron

Aberdaron Mill or Melin Daron is the most complete mill in the Western part of Llŷn, with the majority of the machinery still in its original position. Originally, the Melin consisted of a single building and over time developed with the addition of a corn drying kiln, a building to house two flour dressers, a stable and a store.

Currently a group of dedicated volunteers have formed themselves into a community-based organisation (Melin Daron cyf) focussed on restoring and developing Aberdaron's historic grade II water mill, which dates from 1252.They plan to restore this important asset to their community for educational, tourism and heritage purposes. Their vision is for children to grind locally grown corn into flour and bake bread in the adjacent Islwyn Bakeri the same day and for visitors to share this experience
