Stunning 6-storey windmill - the 3rd tallest in the country - currently undergoing top-notch restoration - so missing its sails. Arrived mid-morning during the week not knowing if they were open, but Nick a member of the family (who has owned the windmill since it was built), was happy to give me a full in depth personal tour of the windmill for free! Though i'm hasten to add that they gratefully accept donations to help with its restoration. Whilst it was a long sometimes dirty hot slog to get to the roof, the views from the tail deck were simply stunning on a sunny April morning (yes, a rarity!!!). Nick's knowledge of the history and workings of the mill were excellent. I'll definitely be bring the kids back to visit this relic of a bygone age when wing was used to grind corn! Highly recommended - though do check when they're open.
