Welcome to Force Mills

Force Mills is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. The village is situated in the northern part of the county, close to the border with Scotland. Force Mills is known for its beautiful natural surroundings, including the River Liddel, which runs through the village. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Force Mills Corn Mill, which dates back to the 18th century.

The Force Mills Corn Mill is one of the most significant historic buildings in the village. The mill was built in the 18th century and was used to grind corn into flour. The mill was powered by water from the River Liddel, which was diverted into a mill race to power the mill's machinery. Today, the mill is no longer in use, but it remains an important part of the village's history and heritage.

In addition to its historic buildings and natural beauty, Force Mills is also home to a small community of residents. The village has a primary school, a post office, and a pub, which serves as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Despite its small size, Force Mills has a strong sense of community and is a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the peace and tranquility of rural England.
