Thanks for the photos, brilliant views. happy
Was it "hard going" getting up to the top?

Forgive my ignorance!! but on one of the photos there are what look like two big white balloons - do you know what they are?

Its the fourth photo down in the second post of the photos.

I'm not sure if you mean the climb to the windmill or inside the windmill but the answer to both is no!!
Parked about 100 metres from the windmill (even I can manage that far wink ) and inside there are 2 floors with steps like a ladder but fixed in between

Bidston Windmill pics from a book about Birkenhead. Interesting it says there was another windmill 20 metres away. Does anyone know where this is?
