Four pieces of music were created by visitors to the mill on this day. Following a guided tour of the mill the songwriters set to work on lyrics and musical themes inspired by what they had seen and heard. Here you can listen to performances captured at the end of the day.

Heron Corn Mill on the banks of the river Bela in Beetham; South Cumbria, is one of the few working mills in the area, and has been a base for local industry powered by renewable energy for over 900 years. A fascinating visitor attraction, the fourteen-foot high waterwheel powers all the industrial heritage mill machinery whilst the newly installed 100kW hydropower Kaplan turbine generates electricity and takes the site's use of water-powered renewable energy into the 21st Century. We also run a diverse events programme in the barn which is also available for hire. Our staff are on hand to explain and demonstrate the mill's features, and provide you with a real insight into Heron Corn Mill's industrial past and creative future.
