The Otterburn Woolen Mill is a major attraction for visitors. At the mill is the only surviving set of tenterhooks on their original frames. These were used to stretch drying fabric and are the source of the expression "being on tenterhooks". The mill was also the original production facility for "Otterburns" - soft, pastel coloured, wool pram blankets - as used by royalty.
