Cobstone Windmill, also known as Turville Windmill, is located at the top.This is a steeply sloping hill, which is a fine example of grazed chalk grassland in the southern Buckinghamshire Chilterns. There is a wide variety of plants, some of which provide food for the larvae of important butterflies on the site. Two butterflies are rare, the silver spotted skipper and the Adonis blue. Another rare invertebrate is the orange clearwing moth.There are footpaths across the hill from Turville, but the windmill is private property.

Cobstone Mill was built around 1816 on Turville Hill in Buckinghamshire, England, and overlooks the village of Turville. It is a smock mill that replaced the original mill that had stood there since the 16th century. The machinery was previously used in another mill in the village of Lacey Green. It was a working mill grinding cereal until 1873. Later, squatters living in the mill caused a fire which damaged the centre post. After this time the mill went further into deterioration. In 1967, for the filming of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the mill was cosmetically restored. The cap was remoulded, and a new fantail and light wooden sails added. The mill and cottage were purchased in 1971 by Hayley Mills and her first husband Roy Boulting, and extensive conversions and remodelling of the interiors were completed as well as interior and exterior restoration and conversion of the mill. The mill has been used as a film location in other films and TV programmes including: Goodnight Mister Tom The New Avengers, "House of Cards" episode. Midsomer Murders, various episodes. Bride and Prejudice The Large Rope Went the Day Well? Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Little Britain, Daffyd Thomas outdoor scenes. Dead of Night Jonathan Creek, "The Grinning Man" episode.
