Wheatley Windmill

Wheatley Windmill

Date of Adventure: 9 Jul, 2023

Wheatley Windmill is one of only two working windmills in Oxfordshire. The mill is dated to at least 1671 and was left in various states of ruin before being restored by a dedicated group of volunteers: Wheatley Windmill Restoration, then Preservation, Society.

It has quite a few open Sundays scheduled for this year – write them in your diary so you don’t forget! Children are most welcome and will love climbing the three staircases up to the top of this fully restored stone tower windmill. The views from the top are quite something! Come hungry because fundraising coffee, tea and cakes are on offer 🫖 🍰

Know?

Tracey Emin’s first British exhibition since 1997 was at Modern Art Oxford in 2002 and drew together the artist's now iconic neon wall hangings, drawings, etchings, film works, and a large scale sculpture installation of a pier and shack made from reclaimed timber.

Fancy buying me a ko-fi?

Want to support my work?

Feel free to buy me a (strong!) coffee, it will help fuel my adventures near and far. Support can come in many form though: sharing my website in your school WhatsApp group or liking a Facebook post is equally appreciated.
