Green’s Windmill and Science Centre Green’s Windmill is a restored and working 19th century tower windmill. It was owned and operated in the 19th century by the mathematical physicist George Green. You may tour the mill (especially on a windy day!) and discover the process of turning grain into flour.
All the flour from Green's Mill is organically grown and available at the mill shop or by mail order. Green's Windmill has won 'best flour' in the Soil Association Organic Food Awards in partnership with You magazine; 2001 Winner for wholemeal spelt flour, 2002 Winner for white spelt flour and Commended for wholemeal spelt flour.
George Green was a mathematical genius who developed new ways of doing mathematics, which have helped scientists to understand the world around us. Test your brain power with the hands-on experiments in the Science Centre which explore electricity, magnetism and light, ideal for young children.

Review title : Good place to take the kids, added by : Lisa (27/02/2009)
Event reviewed : General venue review
"There are always plenty of events and activities on for children of all ages - especially during school holidays. My son enjoyed going right to the top of the windmill - its quite a hike though and not for the faint-hearted, as the stairs are very steep. However, even if you don't make it up to the top of the windmill, there are lots of other things to keep you occupied in the Science Centre, including a nice cup of tea!! In nice weather, there is a very nice grassed area in the front of the windmill to sit on - the kids will love it, especially when the windmill is working - and there is a children's playground at the bottom of the hill. You can't park right outside the windmill and have to walk up steps to get to it (which can be a bit of a pain with a pushchair) but its worth any hassle."
