Danescombe Paper Mill
The ruined building beside the footpath from Danescombe Cottage was a paper mill which is thought to have been built in the 18th Century, and was recorded as being in production in 1788. Water from the stream was used to fill a header pond and then a leat ran from this to a waterwheel around 14 feet in diameter. The mill closed in 1857 after a larger one opened further up the valley.
