Dist:0.4km<br/>The former windmill at Burland dates from the early 19th century and once stood on Ravensmoor Common, enclosed in 1838. Last used to grind corn c. 1884, in 1890 the mill was converted to pump water from an adjacent artesian well to supply part of the Dorfold estate; the wind-pumping mechanism was replaced in 1922 and remains in situ. The grade-II-listed building is now residential. For more information, see Latham 'Acton' pp. 86-88 & http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=56961

Dist:0.6km<br/>The narrow single-track lane leading to Bank Farm is surprisingly busy, as it also serves several houses near the A534, a nursery and a garage business. Bank Farm (centre) and Platt's Bridge (centre left) on the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union are visible in the distance; the canal is not visible from the lane but runs between the field and the hedge/trees. There is no access from the lane to the canal

Dist:0.7km<br/>Large red-brick farm probably dating from the Victorian era. The garden has a majestic Scots pine and, unusually in this area, a sandstone wall. (The main entrance on Bank Lane, not visible in this view, has sandstone gate piers.) View from the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, by Platt's Bridge
