Ashton Windmill

Ashton Windmill is a fascinating 18th century monument, the only windmill in Somerset with a complete, working mechanism.

This unique building with its white stone walls and distinctive roof offers an unforgettable experience of time travel to the Georgian era. Its location offers spectacular views of the Somerset Levels, Cheddar Gorge and Brent Knoll.

The windmill operated continuously until 1927, grinding grain and beans for livestock, and served as a Home Guard post during World War II. A great place for lovers of history and industrial architecture.
