YES, I have added this windmill before on a previous post,
but it just seemed too good not to share again
with pictures from our recent trip over to the Isle of Wight
I didn't put pictures of the Inside of the mill last time,
this time I have some...although have to admit I left husband to take them...
I did go inside the ground floor but going up the steep (very steep) stairs
was not for me...
With stairs like these to climb...
you can see why I opted out and much preferred waiting outside
enjoying the view...

Very quaint. Does the windmill still work?
It is quaint, they seemed to fit a lot of equipment into it and it has been restored over recent years. I'm not 100% certain it would still function as its original job, but as a lot of work has happened on it, plus going on what was inside, I reckon it could return to its former job.
WOW! It's in great shape considering it's age! Here in the states we let things go to ruin mostly..... :(
thanks for sharing, delightful photos!
That's because it's owned by the National Trust, they do a lot of restoration work :-)
Thanks Christine :-)
Aha, there you are with William in the garden! Nice photo! In fact, I enjoyed the tour! Looking forward to the rest of the photos of Wight.
Not often you get a picture of me, I'm usually the one behind the camera! lol :-)
I think there is something quite magical about windmills! Sarah x
I agree with you Sarah. I also think that if the modern wind turbines looked like these, people wouldn't have an issue with them :-)
Lovely! I've been to the IOW many times but didn't know about this windmill, it's gorgeous. and I love those photos of the inner workings. fascinating.
Yes, it's a little gem!
