This remarkable working tower windmill was once owned and run by mathematical physicist and Nottingham man George Green (Green's Theorem) in the 19th century. He lived in the nearby house. His father, also called George was a baker, and decided to cut out the middle man and grind his own flour in this, then, state-of-the-art mill. It features a fantail with gears and cogs to drive it around automatically into the wind. Green the younger inherited the mill on his father's death, but being more of a mathematical genius than miller, let it to someone else to run. The cafe windows are adorned with various examples of Green's differential equations. I turned up on spec, and was given a short tour. All absolutely free. Do try to support them, apparently they need 70-100k to get the fantail mechanism working properly again - although the mill is still a working one. There's a gift shop, some science exhibits and you can also buy their flour. Free parking for 2 hours in the carpark; get a free ticket from the machine and display.

Great free-of-charge place to visit. I've always found the centre relaxed and welcoming. The flour is a lot more expensive than the supermarkets but, my goodness, it is worth it! It is wonderful to work with in breadmaking and pastry. The nutritional benefits are there by their milling methods. No need to fortify their flour with artificial additives or vitamins. I very happily buy their flour as the winds allow

If you interested in science about gravity and how windmill works then this place is for you. It a education place. It is good for bringing your kids to learn about science. Car park is free for 2 hours long. The entrance is also free. I recommend to visit.

Extremely good for after hours or evening relaxing time. Good view as the sun or the moon rises above the cliffs on the opposite side. Scientific research center as named windmill inside the small park. Has car park and wheelchair accessible but will need pushing through the other road entrance side. Has playing place for children as well.
