Ballycopeland Windmill, Historic windmill in Millisle, Northern Ireland.
The white-washed tower windmill rises from the County Down landscape, featuring rotating sails and a conical roof structure.
Originally owned by the McGilton family until 1915, the government of Northern Ireland acquired the windmill in 1935 and restored it in 1978.
The structure demonstrates Northern Ireland's agricultural heritage through its original grain milling mechanisms and traditional corn-drying kiln installation.
Visitors can access the site from Thursday to Monday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with self-guided tours available throughout the complex.
This windmill remains the final operational example among more than one hundred mills that previously operated in County Down.
