Open from April to October on weekends and Bank Holidays, our Grade II* listed windmill - built in 1797 and restored in 2002 - is the only working six-sailed stone tower windmill in England. She is set in the Derbyshire countryside, providing spectacular views towards the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Car parking is available on site. Visitors can go on tours with guides normally in costume. There is also an Interpretation Centre and a shop selling souvenirs, light refreshments and the windmill's own flour. Groups are welcome by prior arrangement. Look out for special events throughout the year.
Gorgeous little gem, set back from the road down a winding track. The only 6-sailed, stone built windmill in the UK Open most weekends over the summer & Bank Holidays, they sometimes have special events. Free car-parking. Small cost for guided tour of the windmill. Stunning views over the valley. Worth a visit.
My first visit. Beautiful day today which made the visit even better. Spectacular views over countryside. Lovely guided tour and opportunity to walk around inside including up staircases to almond the top of your windmill. A shop is available for souvenirs, toilet facilities are available along with hot and cold drinks and a few snacks. However they don't provide lunches etc. all staff are friendly and very helpful and can't help enough.
Great place to visit all run by volunteers who are very friendly. They do a guided tours for PS6 and very informative .
Visited for a car show and found that you could have a tour of the windmill. PS16 for a family of 5. Guides were very knowledgeable and it was a wonderful experience. My 8 year old loved it! Small shop selling flour, ice cream and souvenirs and a used book shelf with books for a small donation.
We popped in here just expecting to take a quick photo of a windmill and be on hour way. However you can take a tour (PS5 pp absolute bargain) we ended up staying for about an hour and a half. The tour is brilliantly done and the hosts are great. There is a small shop for coffee and light snacks. We'll worth a visit. We'll dome guys we loved it.
