Ray Windmill is a preserved and restored windmill located near the village of Cornhill-on-Tweed in Northumberland, England. The windmill was built in 1595 and is a traditional smock mill, which means it has a wooden tower and a thatched roof. It was originally used for grinding wheat and oats into flour. In the mid-20th century, the windmill was abandoned and fell into disrepair.
In 1989, the Ray Windmill Preservation Society was formed to raise money for the restoration of the windmill. The restoration project was completed in 2013 and now the windmill is fully functional and can be visited by the public. The windmill has four floors and visitors can climb to the top to see the machinery in action and enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Ray Windmill is recognized as a Grade II* listed building and is one of the last remaining windmills in Northumberland. It is a popular attraction for visitors and is open to the public from April to September.
