Description:
England's only surviving eight-sail windmill.
Review:
The mill ceased work in 1946, but has now been restored to full working order. There are five floors to explore, and to discover just how wind power worked, and how important it was to rural communities. Situated adjacent to the railway, and on the edge of a coal yard, it also gives an insight into 19th Century transport too. The views over the flat Fen landscape from the top of the mill are breath-taking - once you've got your breath back from the climb up to the top! An excellent way to discover the 'high point' of windmill technology.
