Cley Windmill, Grade II* listed tower mill in Cley Next the Sea, England.

The five-story windmill features an octagonal dome-shaped cap with a petticoat, topped by a ball finial and consists of accommodations spread across multiple levels.

Built in 1819, the windmill operated as a commercial flour mill until 1912, when the Burroughes family ceased its industrial operations after decades of service.

The structure transformed from an industrial mill into a residential property in 1921, marking the shift in Norfolk's coastal heritage from maritime trade to tourism.

The windmill now functions as a bed and breakfast establishment with multiple rooms, including the Wheel Room and Miller's Room, each providing different views of Norfolk.

Three pairs of French burr stones remained operational in this tower mill until the early 20th century, processing grain transported directly from ships at sea.
