This windmill was built in 1807, but there's reports of windmills on the same site since the 1400s. Now publicly owned and looked after, it's a super chilled spot to ride by and a real point of interest on any route!

If you want to visit the windmill you actually can, as it's open to the public on the third Sunday of the month from April through to September.
