You’ve reached the end of the Quarryman’s Walk. The Coventry Canal continues down to the Coventry Canal Basin but we’ve reached the end of our journey.

We hope that this virtual walk has helped you to find out a bit more about this area, its history and links to quarrying, and given you a taste of the Quarryman’s life.
Please explore the rest of the site and have a go at walking the Quarryman’s Walk yourself.

Tuttle Hill Windmill was the last working windmill in Warwickshire.

Tuttle Hill Windmill has a red brick tower and was built in 1821. It originally had 4 common sails but was rebuilt after a storm in 1905, with iron machinery and 5 sails. The windmill stopped working after further storm damage in 1936.

What is a windmill?
A tower-like structure made of brick with a wooden cap and sails which are driven around by the wind producing power to work the internal machinery.
