Overview

History & significance

Felin Wen Tide Mill is a post-medieval industrial tide mill located in Anglesey, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference AN130.

The surviving structure represents the physical infrastructure of this water-powered industrial process, reflecting the importance of tidal mills to local economic activity and subsistence. The site contributes to the archaeological record of industrial development in north Wales during the post-medieval and modern periods.
