tacumshane windmill

Take the first turn left after the village for Broadway and Tacumshane. Turn left again for Tacumshane (5 km) and its windmill, one of only two intact windmill in Ireland. Built in 1846, the mill was used until 1936 and was renovated in the 1950s. Key obtained from the nearby shop. Nearby Tachumshin Lake is a favourite with bird watchers as it attracts some rare American waders in Autumn, as well as internationally important concentrations of Bewick's swans, Brent geese, wigeon, oystercatchers, golden plover and lapwing.
