North Leverton Windmill was built in 1813 and is still in active use today. The windmill is owned by a charity and is looked after by dedicated volunteers keen to keep this amazing piece of working heritage for future generations to enjoy.
I pass the windmill every day going to and from work and I like to buy the freshly milled flour from here as it makes excellent bread. You can also explore the interior to see just how the mill works.
The Windmill is open to the public every Saturday and in September a family fun weekend is held to raise funds to support the upkeep. There are craft stalls, vintage vehicles games and face painting for the kids and my personal favourites, the birds of prey (more of these next post).
Nice shot of the old bird in front of the windmill.... ;-)
