"Free parking, great area just walk the dog great views just out side Beverly
Would recommend to stop for a walk."

"One of the iconic landmarks of the Beverley skyline! Makes for good photos, especially at sunset or on the rare occasion that the Aurora is visible. It's a good obvious meeting place if you're going for a walk on the Westwood. It's never very busy from my experience. It's also nice that there's a bench almost all the way around it, which you can sit and watch the sunset! The only thing that's missing is being able to go inside it, but I think this stopped being an option decades ago. Definitely worth going up to and having a look if you're in the area though."

"Nice mill tower with fields to walk through, unfortunately dog walkers have dogs off lead running about and sh1tting without them picking it up. Apart from that just watch where you walk keep in short grass and pleasant walk"
