Brilliant. Fantastically knowledgeable volunteers providing a wealth of answers to my questions. Great spot and stunning setting. Think I need to visit more of these on my home patch . . . .
. . . beautifully restored - so much so it's functional! We were invited to enter the windmill and see its workings up close - truly a marvel of 19th century engineering and well worth a visit. We were welcomed by two extremely friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. A lovely experience.

We were lucky to visit the Jill windmill today when it was open. The volunteers were very friendly and did a very interesting tour. The Jack windmill isn't open. I was nervous about climbing the ladder into the windmill but they were very encouraging and I did it ! They have a tea shop in the base of the windmill that also takes contactless payments. It's in a beautiful part of the South Downs. It's well worth a visit.
There is a small car park which makes this a good starting point for a bracing walk along the ridgeway with its views down to Brighton. The windmill has been lovingly restored and is looked after by a great little band of volunteers. Downstairs a small outlet serves tea and coffee and some fantastic home made cakes and scones. The room downstairs abounds with Knick knackery including the brake block that set off a fire during the great storm of 1987 when the sails were probably going round like a propeller, various fly wheels, governors etc.
