Preston Mill

Martin and I had a lovely afternoon in East Linton, where we also visited Preston Mill, which is now a National Trust property.

Preston Mill is an unusual and eye-catching 18th-century mill with a conical kiln and red pantile roof that looks like a combination of an oast house and a wizard's hat. A short walk away is the Phantassie Doocot, a restored 16th-century dovecot.

It is thought that the mill may have provided the inspiration for the sorting hat in Harry Potter.

I hope you have had a good Saturday.
