Ballycopeland Windmill is a late 18th century tower mill just outside the seaside village of Millisle which derived its name from the mill. It was in use until 1915 and fell into decay before being eventually bought by the Government in 1935. It was extensively renovated and reopened in full working order in 1978 and is currently run by the Northern Ireland Environment. It is open to the public during the summer months and visitors have the chance to grind a small sample of grain.
