If you haven’t visited Holgate Windmill before, you really should. It’s one of York’s quirkiest and most intriguing hidden gems and our kids love it. The volunteers are really enthusiastic and interesting, and you can climb pretty much all the way to the top. It’s not open all the time, so you need to catch it on one of the open days, which just happens to include this coming weekend (Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th February). What’s more, if you visit on Sunday between 11am and midday, they’ll be making pancakes! Flipping fantastic!
PS – Don’t miss the new Mini Millers monthly sessions for 4 to 7 year olds. Read all about it here.
