Denver
Windmill was built in 1835 and continued to grind corn using windpower
for over one hundred years. The windmill stopped work in 1941 when
the sails were struck by lightning.
Now
it has been lovingly restored to full working order with new facilities
for visitors to enjoy. Once again flour is being milled using the
power of the wind.
Your
visit will include a chance to explore the whole windmill site and
enjoy a unique guided tour right to the very top of the windmill tower.
You will have a chance to see flour made the traditional way wind
permitting! A new visitor centre tells the story of windmills, cornmilling
and the people who lived and worked in these wonderful buildings.
Our
own tearoom and bakery offer a tempting range of goodies to eat including
bread and cakes made from our own flour. A range of hot and cold light meals is also on offer.
We stone-grind our own speciality flour which includes wholemeal,
light brown, bran and our unique malty-grain; ideal for those wishing to have a healthier lifestyle; these are available in our well-stocked gift shop which also sells locally produced jams, honey and preserves as well as muesli, spelt flour and of course, high quality gifts.
You
can also come and stay in the 3 Star rated original Miller's House.
