Alfriston Windmill
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 27 Jan 2013
A former tower mill that operated between 1834 when it was built and 1908 when a cow damaged the sails. Both sails and internal machinery were removed the following year and the former mill was converted into a residence now known as the Mill House. The former mill sits on top of a hill to the south of the village with this view taken from the South Downs Way. Beyond are the still flooded fields near Litlington.
