Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
Our 18th Century Windmill is the only surviving Six Sailed Stone Built Windmill in the Country! We give visitors an insight into the life of a miller back in the day and how the windmill works. The restored windmill is working again and produces flour that can be bought in the shop on site! We look forward to welcoming you to the windmill soon, and we'd like to take the time to thank you for visiting our TripAdvisor Page

What a beautiful and historic landmark this is, sitting high up on a grassy ridge overlooking the verdant Derbyshire countryside. It was built in 1797, and after various periods of natural disasters, dereliction and restoration (the latest being in 2002) it stands proud, sails to the wind, and continues to grind flour from local wheat, as it did when it was first built. Apparently it is the only remaining six-sail windmill in England. With the current pandemic the windmill is currently closed to visitors. In normal times you can visit the windmill on weekends between April and October, and also take an inexpensive little tour which is offered. I’ve visited previously, when it was open, and bought a bag of the stone-milled flour ground at the windmill. It’s an excellent rustic strong bread flour. I understand that the flour is available at local farmers’ markets. On this visit we could only view its graceful stone exterior. For the best views of the windmill, follow the public footpath that leads into a grassy field to the left, just before the entrance gate. From this vantage point you will be able to appreciate its grandeur. The windmill is down a laneway off Chesterfield Road (the B6013) near the village of Heage, though we walked on a public footpath from Heage. It’s a beautiful landmark and worth a visit.

Along with the newly established The Belper Tap, The Angels Micropub is your best option by far in Belper for a pint of craft ale or cider. It is a hidden gem indeed, tugged into the far corner of Market Place - you have to be very close to the northern east corner to actually see it's there. It has a narrow patio area with a few outside tables, and the single room in the pub holds only about 30 people. The range of carefully selected real ales (directly from the cask) is excellent, as is the one for craft cider. And they're only 3 quid a pint, no matter how high the ABV is. I had three excellent pints there: two beers (Titanic Plum Porter, Plummeth Grand Cru) and a flavorful cask-matured cider (Thistly Cross Whisky Cask). The young woman who was running things on the day was extremely friendly and welcoming, herself an enthusiast for real ale and cider. The atmosphere is very friendly, and you can always strike up a conversation with a fellow punter. Note: The Angels is open only between Thursday and Sunday! Cannot recommend this super place enough: Keep up the good work!
