Tips from the Community

November 24, 2023, Windmill Hill Tower

Windmill Hill is steeped in history. The remains of a windmill at the top of the hill are a reminder of a bygone era. Built in the late 1700s, the mill was used to grind wheat for the production of flour. But the picturesque site has also witnessed turbulent times and holds memories of the Battle of Ballynahinch. The battle, on June 12, was part of the 1798 Irish Rebellion fought between British forces and the United Irishmen.
