The village of Whilton first appears in the Domesday Book way back in 1068 where it is referred to as ?Woltone?. The land known as ?Whilton Mill? takes its name from the old 18th century watermill that is still visible today. From around 1841, Whilton Mill began providing hospitality to the local villagers in ?The Mill public house?. Whilton Mill?s milling days slowly gave way to farming which continued right up until the late 1980?s.
Whilton Mill first began Kart racing in 1991. The first karts were off road versions as the first circuit was on grass! The racing itself took place around the small field that is now the 450m Mill circuit. With increasing interest, a permanent, concrete track was built in early 1993. The karts moved to a more recognizable design with the purchase of a fleet from Stratos. As karting became more popular, the facility was later floodlit. This extended the compay’s operating season through into the winter months, making Whilton Mill a year-round business.
