    What's not to love about this Grade 1 listed smock mill built in 1866 restored in all its glory. Enjoy a guided tour or explore on your own. Take in the windmill museum and round off your visit with a delicious cream tea. As a reminder you can also take home a copy of Davison's Mill, a delightful history of mills and country living.
