Birds eye view - Windmill farm in Bradford County, PA taken by flying below and in between the windmills. The yellow blurry object is the airplane wing strut.
Pitstone Windmill is to find in a large field near the parish of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire.
It is first built around 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles.
For many hundreds of years grain grown in the two adjoining villages was ground at the mill into flour.
In 1937 the windmill was donated it to the National Trust.

Kinderdijk windmills: unique & iconic water management
A significant part of Holland is situated up to approximately 7 meters below sea level. The Dutch don’t notice any of this though, because an incredibly innovative and intricate system keeps the ever-rising seawater from flooding the land. Even during spring tide, the Dutch are safely guarded from being washed away…
The most important aspect of UNESCO World Heritage Kinderdijk is undoubtedly the unique collection of 19 authentic windmills, which are considered a Dutch icon throughout the entire world.
