Yorkshire`s last working windmill, a Grade ll listed four-sailed tower mill built in 1821 and and commanding magnificent views over the beautiful East Yorkshire Wolds.
Two galleries in the attached warehouses illustrate the agricultural and rural history of the area at the East Riding Museum of Rural Life, with many simple interactive exhibits plus backpacks to borrow to explore the wildlife garden and mill field.

Additional info

The museum has a small car park c. 100m from the mill, although there is plenty of parking on the road and dead-end opposite the mill, and two dedicated disabled parking spaces are due to be painted on the road close to the mill entrance. Coaches can drop off at the mill and there is space to park in the broad junction with the dead-end road opposite.

The only part of the mill not accessible to wheelchair users is the tower and the upper floor of the Upper Warehouse.
