East Riding Rural Life Museum

Yorkshire's last working windmill, a four-sailed tower mill built in 1821 by Norman and Smithson of Hull. The adjacent warehouses form the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, with displays illustrating the agricultural and rural history of the area, and including a range of simple child-friendly interactive exhibits. Children's trails and information sheets are available free from the mill reception, and there are hand-held information sheets in both galleries and in the mill tower. The mill has an Education Room, which is also available for hire for meetings (£10 for ERYC, £12 for other users.) School visits are welcomed, and a Teachers' Pack and other resources are available.

The mill is run, weather permitting, by the miller and mill volunteers between Wednesdays and Sundays, and produces various grades of wholemeal flour from East Riding-grown `Hereward` variety grain, which is available for purchase in the mill shop, along with a wide range of souvenir and other items, and books.

The mill is set in over an acre of land, commanding magnificent views over the Wolds. The courtyard contains various exhibits including a blacksmith's forge, and the cafe.At the side of the mill is a sheltered garden picnic area, Wildlife Garden and pond. The adjacent field is being developed as a natural history area and open play space for children.'Explorasacks' - small backpacks containing materials and equipment to use for exploring the garden and field - are available from the reception in exchange for a £5 returnable deposit.

Parking is available in the mill car park, about 80m below the mill, or in the dead-end Mill Road opposite the mill entrance (vehicles are excluded from the courtyard for health and safety reasons). Coaches can drop off groups on the road at the mill entrance, and then park in Mill Road opposite.
