    Arrive at Skidby Mill before the crowds. The tower mill stands tall against the darkening sky, its silhouette sharp in the fading light. Spend a few minutes looking up at the structure and the surrounding grounds.

    Stay for the final minutes of daylight. The sun sets toward the SW, casting long shadows across the mill. This is the best time for photos of the building against the twilight sky.

    Check the route to a nearby place for dinner. Since there are no food options listed at the mill, you will need to travel to Kingston upon Hull for a meal after dark.

Local tip

The mill is open until 16:00. If you arrive after sunset (16:11 on Jan 15), the building will still be visible, but the interior may be closed. Check the route for transport from the mill to the city center.
