The Heron Corn Mill is a working 18th-century water mill on the River Bela at Beetham, Cumbria, England. The mill and its mill race are Grade II* listed,[1] and in 2013 it was awarded a £939,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for major restoration work.[2] The mill is open to visitors, with regular opportunities to see flour being milled.[3] The 18th century barn is used as a venue for a range of community and educational activities.[4][5] Within the mill site there is also a Kaplan turbine generating hydroelectricity, some of which is sold to the BillerudKorsnäs paper mill across the river.[6] A fish ladder bypassing the weir allows salmon to pass up the river to breed.[7]
