No: 16 Windmill:
Ashton Windmill was built in the 18th century although there haas been a mill on the site at Chapel Allerton, Somerset since medieval times. The tower is 25 ft high with walls 2 ft thick.
We visited on an afternoon when the windmill was open so we were able to go inside. I don't like heights so I only went up to the first floor, my son went all the way to the top.

View through the sails
I took this photo from the first floor of the windmill, as you can see
there is a more modern windmill not too far away.
I love, love, love the view from the inside of the windmill. I haven't seen that yet this year. It's terrific.

ReplyDeleteYour windmill post is beautiful against that perfect blue sky and the yin and yang of a traditional windmill and a modern!
