Belmont Mill is an 18th century oat mill based in the beautiful village of Belmont in Offaly. It has been lovingly restored by the owners Tom Dolan (Ballinasloe) and his wife Sandy Lloyd. The waters from the Brosna river power the great waterwheel and the shelling stone turns to demonstrate the first stage of milling. In the converted stable yard, there are workshops with artists and Mark Keenan, a violin maker. Above the restored kiln room is an exhibition of work by Rosemary Langtry and Carol Bergin. On site, there is also boat builder Dougal MacManhon, who builds and repairs all wood Shannon One boats.

Midlands Simon Community are asking people to show their solidarity with those experiencing homelessness by joining Team Midlands Simon for a sporting event or challenge.
