Well Worth The Walk to The Top

Think Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Memories come flooding back as you visit this lovely place. On a blue sky day, you can see/visualise/imagine scenes from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Vicar of Dibley :)

Beautiful Windmill!

The Windmill sits up on top of a fairly steep hill. You can walk up to it. This was the Windmill from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and hence it's claim to fame.
