help Felin Isaf Watermill FAQ

Where is Felin Isaf Watermill?

Felin Isaf is a historic mill site on Anglesey in Wales. The nearby Melin y Bont, also called Melin Isaf, is associated with both water-powered and wind-powered machinery.

What powered the machinery at Felin Isaf?

The mill used a water wheel and, unusually, wind sails connected to the same central shaft. Clutches allowed the miller to choose which power source drove the millstones.

How old is the mill site?

A watermill stood at the site in medieval times, and it appears on a 1726 map of the Bodorgan estate. The preserved machinery reflects the agricultural milling traditions of Anglesey rather than modern industrial production.

What made this Anglesey mill unusual?

It combined wind and water power in one building, a rare arrangement on the island. The machinery also powered equipment in nearby buildings through belts and connected rods.
