Tower Mill - Windmill
Napton on the Hill, Warwickshire
Tower
mill , now a house, still has sails it can be photographed with canal.
When we visited
From the canal we got good views and took quite
a lot of different combinations of locks, canal bridges etc with the windmill in
the background, using a long lens to close up the distance. I got both good view
and upright shots, and this is what makes this windmill special.
The image of the front from closer was taken
with a long lens from a road position, you can get around the front into the
field as a footpath runs through it. I didn't try this as there were a lot of
horses in the access field, many having foals, and although they should have
been okay to walk through, they were very friendly, and clustered around the
gate when we approached, but I had children with me who were not keen on going
through them. There is a chance that you could find yourself too close to the
hedge, and the field in front drops away, so it may be that the position I chose
provided the best view of the front.
From the back (middle shot above) you get a good
view across a field, again you need a fairly long lens to achieve this. A
footpath goes down a lane that leads to the house/windmill, it then goes to the
right of the property and around to the front. I got a variety of shots from the
lane but as you get nearer to the house there are more obstacles, you can't get a
good view nearby.
