Is the mill working at the moment?
Currently the windmill is awaiting repairs to the sails, cap and machinery following storm damage in 2018. We are hopeful that the millwrights will be able to carry out the repairs by 2023-2024.

Yes - absolutely. We have facilities for group visits during the week or at weekends.
