A walk across the salt marshes on a bright and sunny day, to the charming little village of Cley.
The windmill was built in the 18th century and is now run as a bed and breakfast.

Rolvenden Windmill
Rolvenden Windmill is a restored "turret" post mill built on a mill mound that probably belonged to a previous mill, as the current building is known to have replaced an earlier mill, some time after 1736. The mill has a rare type of brake, with wood below and iron above the centreline.
There is a mill here on a map dating from 1596 but not on maps of 1680 or 1736. Curiously, one is shown on a map of 1719.

One of the two windmills in Skerries. I have been to Skerries many times since I moved to Swords nearby 41 years ago and never saw these mills before. When I went there this time they were closed so now I have a reason to return!
Information: The Mill complex comprises a watermill, 5-sail windmill, 4-sail windmill and associated mill races, mill pond and wetlands. The history of the mills can be traced to the 16th century. A bakery was also established on the site by 1840. All three mills have been restored to working order by F.Á.S. and Fingal County Council and are open to visitors throughout the year.
The mills in Skerries demonstrate an efficient and clean use of water and wind power and are a rare survival of 17th, 18th and 19th century industrial history. Indoors: Visitors can see how the watermill works and view exhibits of milling equipment; mill stones, elevators, shakers, blowers, winnowers. Bright and sunlit tea-rooms and a well stocked craft shop are located on the first floor of the four-storey watermill building. Outdoors: A mill race runs from the mill pond along the edge of the cornfield to turn the waterwheel. Dominating the landscape however, are the two windmills, the 5-sail Great Windmill of Skerries and the older thatched 4-sail mill.
