Built in 1816, Tower Windmill was last used as a corn mill in 1914. Boasting spectacular views over the north Norfolk coast and surrounding countryside, it is the ideal place for bird watching, crabbing and relaxing. The Grade II-listed building is now holiday accommodation.

Tower Windmill, or Burnham Overy Staithe Windmill if you prefer it's full and proper name - was built in 1816, for the same miller who operated the nearby watermill.

It has a 6 storey tower, 4 sails and is now converted to holiday let accomodation.
