Outwood Windmill is the oldest working windmill in England, a post mill built in 1665 by the miller Thomas Budgen, near Redhill. A gale damaged one of its sails in 2012 and the mill was put up for sale in 2018, so don’t count on getting inside; you can still see it from the edge of Outwood Common. Nutfield station is about 4km north-west.
