"The 17th century windmill is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and is the fifth oldest post mill in the country. The mill is a scheduled monument, one of 15 monuments owned by the County Council.
Post mills are one of the earliest types of windmill and are based around a central pole, which meant they could be turned to catch the breeze."
Something to enjoy 👀 - if it was working in a day like today with SW 🌬 @27 km/h would b efficient.
(Not great for cycling, though).

There’s also a memorial to the Canadian pathfinder bomber crews that flew from RAF Gransden Lodge, which was situated here, during the war.
