Wonderful to see these mills working

It was so nice ro see the mills working and be able to speak to the people who maintain them to learn how they work and their history. There is a room for children to make models and a tea room. Worth taking the family.

A hidden gem

Run by Deborah and her team of enthusiastic eccentrics, this place deserves to be overrun with visitors, such are their knowledge and enthusiasm. Well worth the walk from the river. Just don't trust the signs which say it's closed. It probably isn't!

Thank Wierdostomps

Thank you very much for your lovely review...,,all true, signage isn’t our strong point!!! But next year it will be spot on....I hope 🙂

We'd planned to visit the Wind Energy Museum but somehow didn't get round to it until last week. I agree it isn't easy to find but as another reviewer says using the satnav with postcode NR29 5JU takes you there. There is also Google maps....More
