Tuxford windmill is situated just off the old Great North Road (now the B1164) north of Tuxford. The Windmill Tearoom is adjacent. On the day of my visit there was a stiff breeze blowing and the sails were going round at a fair old rate.

Chesterton Windmill is a 17th-century cylindric stone tower windmill with an arched base, located outside the village of Chesterton, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building and a striking landmark in South-East Warwickshire.
The windmill is one of Warwickshire's most famous landmarks. It stands on a hilltop overlooking the village of Chesterton for nearly 350 years. It is near the Roman Fosse Way and about five miles (8 km) south-east of Warwick. It was built around 1632-1633, probably by Sir Edward Peyto, who was Lord of the Chesterton Manor House. At this time John Stone, a pupil of Inigo Jones, was in Chesterton designing the new Manor House and he probably helped with the windmill as well. Sir Edward was a Mathematician and Astrologer and probably his own architect to the windmill, but although claims have been made that the tower was originally built as an observatory, the estate accounts now at Warwick Record Office show that it has always been a windmill, making it the earliest tower mill in England to retain any of its working parts.
Second windmill in Hull. Its building caused much consternation in nearby Hingham (because of the 'view'), which only made me like it all the more. How can you not like renewable energy coupled with upsetting Hinghamites?

Winding through the windmills.
Brill Windmill is claimed to be one of the earliest and best preserved examples of a post mill (the earliest type of European windmill) in the UK. Ownership of the Grade II* listed mill was passed to Buckinghamshire County Council in 1947.
In 1967 the Council installed a structural steel framework that helps to support the mill's ancient timber frame but means that the mill is static and can no longer turn to face the wind.

Back in September I went on a photo trip with my Aunt. We drove around the scenic countryside of Chatsworth and area. I was on the hunt for some windmills
