All proceeds go towards the upkeep & restoration of the windmill.A guided tour with one of the owners includes details of the history, construction and operation of the mill, in the roundhouse and all three upper floors. For health and safety reasons we are not allowed to run the mill while visitors are on the top floors. However, wind permitting, you may watch the sails in action from outside.

Normally it is possible to arrange to view the mill by appointment at other times, but as we are carrying out maintenance and restoration at the moment, this is quite restricted at present.

Callers to the house are welcome at any reasonable time.
