A windmill uses sails attached to a rotating shaft to harness the power of the wind. As a result of the sails being mounted at an angle or twisted slightly, the blowing force is divided into two parts, with one of them imparting rotation in the plane of the sails. Windmills are very important because they provide a way to generate electricity without causing pollution. This is a healthier option for us and the planet. Wind power is also a renewable resource. This means that as the wind is constantly being generated, it will continue to be available on Earth. There are seven beautiful windmills in the UK which are listed below:
- Outwood Mill
- The Tower House, Derbyshire
- Barrowden Road Mill, Rutland
- Tower House, Yorkshire
- Skegness Mill

It was converted into a family home in the 1980s after extensive renovations.
