Pitstone Windmill stands in the north east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is thought to have been first built circa 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. It should be remembered that such a structure would have had to have frequent repairs made to it, so it is quite possible the mill predates 1627.
Thanks to Coffee Nut for the inspiration.
Marsala is a lovely town set between Trapani and Sciacca. Windmills are certainly striking to admire while driving along the coast stretching over the salt pans. Breathtaking views at sunset are guaranteed.
I hired a scooter and explored the Algarve, stopping in at lots of small little beaches along the southern Portuguese coastline, and some interesting places off the beaten track such as these large windmills.
Wilton Windmill was built in 1821 after the new Kennet and Avon canal was built. The mill was in operation for 100 years but with the fast production of cheap bread it became unwanted and was abandoned. It then sadly fell into disrepair. After a number of years it was finally restored to its former glory in 1976, by a team of dedicated volunteers. It is owned by Wiltshire Council who offer guided tours.
There are many windmills -- windmill farms -- in West Texas. Sometimes, you can see dozens & dozens of windmills stretching to the horizon, and the parade of windmills continues as you travel down the highway.

In ABCs and 123s: 4 is for four windmill sails
Spotted their sign offering cream teas at exactly the perfect time this afternoon! Very welcome, and I think one of the first times I've seen a windmill with its sails turning!
On the bus watching the windmills and listening to "My December". Probably will be one of my best memories from Germany.
