Charlie Cosh
September 10, 2025, View of Holme Mills

The Holme Mills were originally a corn mills but change to flax in the 19th century and later to a coconut matting mill. The mill carried on being used for matting up until the 1970's. Apparently in its heyday as a matting mill it had up to 300 workers. The surrounding houses were built by the Quakers owners in the early/mid 19th century in order to house the workers at the mill.

A beautiful place, reminds me of Italy, of Tuscany in the summer sun!

Farleton Knott along with nearby Hutton Roof have striking "limestone pavement" rock formations. Limestone pavements are slabs of smooth grey rock, incised with deep fissures and patterned with swirling hollows. These formations can be surprisingly botanically rich with a number of rare plants taking advantage of the crevices in the rock.

Great views from here with Morecambe Bay to the west and the peaks of the Lake District to the north.

Fantastic views of the surrounding area from the top. It is worth jumping off the bike and walking down towards the interesting limestone pavement formations. Perfect for an interesting bike shot!
