Melinsey is a hamlet south of Ruan High Lanes in Cornwall, England.[1] The name is derived from the Cornish word "melinjy" which means "mill house".[2]

Melinsey Watermill dates from the Middle Ages and has been restored to working order. It was originally built to grind wheat into food for livestock. It has a Cafe specialising in Cornish cream teas and a craft shop.
