Got up bright and early to head over to Pitstone to try to capture the sunrise at the Windmill. It was a bit cloudy, so perhaps not the best conditions possible but I still decided to give it a go.
Pretty neat around all these windmills, there wasn't much wind near the ground but plenty at the tree tops. These things sound cool...
Chesterton Windmill is a famous feature of the Warwickshire landscape and can be seen from several miles away.
It stands on a hilltop overlooking the Roman Fosse Way about five miles south-east of Warwick.
The mill was built in the years 1632-1633 and remained in use until about 1910 when its machinery ceased to work. It was restored from 1965- 1971 by Warwickshire County Council in collaboration with the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings and the Ministry of Public Building and Works.
