We'd visited <a title="Alford Windmill" href="http://www.alford-windmill.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alford Mill</a> before but it was closed so this time we rang ahead to make sure it would be open.

We arrived to find the five sails turning. Most windmills have an even number of sails for the sake of balance so Alford is a rarity. We had a very pleasant lunch in the tea rooms before climbing to the top of the mill - a great experience.
