Cobstone Windmill, Smock mill in Turville Hill, Buckinghamshire, England
The wooden structure of Cobstone Windmill stands tall with its tapered shape and traditional sails overlooking the village of Turville from its hilltop position.
Built in 1816, this windmill operated as a grain grinding facility until 1873, using machinery previously installed at another mill in Lacey Green.
The mill gained recognition through its appearance in numerous productions, including the 1967 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and television series Midsomer Murders.
While the windmill remains privately owned and closed to interior visits, visitors can view its exterior structure from several public walking paths in the area.
After a fire caused by squatters damaged its center post, the mill underwent restoration in 1967, receiving a new cap, fantail, and wooden sails.
