Skidby Windmill
Recommended by
Overview
Painted in protective black bitumen, this handsome five-storey windmill to the south of Beverley still grinds wheat to make flour on a weekly basis, and its white sails are a noted landmark for miles around. The Museum of East Riding Rural Life is located in the buildings at its feet. You can buy the flour on the spot, and there’s also a cafe.

About the area
Yorkshire’s East Riding is the only one left of a trio of ‘ridings’ which existed up until 1974. The North and West are gone, to be replaced by North, South and West Yorkshires.
