I've been meaning to ride to that since spotting it from the M40, really must go and have a look now.

Cheers for posting the image

It's a really lovely place, and a truly unique structure. They open it up to visitors every so often too. I"m not sure the couples canoodling in the sunset appreciated me turning up hot and sweaty in my lycra, spending ages trying to get my bike to stand up and tramping around in my cleats getting good angles for photos!

I always thought it was a folly, but it was actually a working mill originally. Another one thats worth a visit is Charlecote mill at Hampton Lucy, its still working and producing flour and has regular open days about once a month.

This one doesn't qualify for this thread but I'm going to post it, looking out from the Harbury farm road over Chesterton village to the windmill.

couldn't resist as I drove past yesterday on my way home, no bike though

Touché

New bradwell windmill. Looked after by the Milton Keynes museum and has open days, it's about 800 metres from my house.

Not as quirky as Chesterton but I love it. It's a piece of history in the 'new city'

About 50m from there is the grand union canal and the newest aqueduct on the canal.

More of a fence than a wall. Taken on a bridge over the river Dovey this morning.
