This beautifully restored windmill offers a window into history along with great views over the surrounding Chilterns countryside. The mill ground flour for the local villages for almost three hundred years until a storm in the early 1900s rendered it unusable. Today it is possible to explore both the inner and outer workings of the windmill; including the massive post upon which the mill turns and the tail pole which the miller used to position the sails in the wind.

Parking is available at the mill, or it is a short walk (just under a mile) from The Ridgeway National Trail.
