The Clayton Windmills, known locally as Jack and Jill, are fine examples of old windmills that the public can explore on Sundays and holidays during the summer. They comprise a post mill, a tower mill, and the roundhouse of a former post mill. All three are Grade II-listed. For opening times and more information, visit: jillwindmill.org.uk.
