National Trust-run windmill in the middle of the wide, flat broads landscape. Cafe and toilets for a refreshment stop as well.

Great view from the top of the ramp over the sea embankment, and plenty of refreshment options just below it.

There is a car park here, which is managed by the National Trust. There are lovely hiking trails all around through the Broads and to the North Sea coast. You can see several colonies of seals on the coast.

The National Trust maintains a car park right next to the mill. You can also get tickets to the mill there. It's worth a visit, as you'll not only learn details about the mill, but also gain an insight into the miller's life.

It's thought that there had been a mill here since at least Saxon times. The 18th-century incarnation of Horstead Mill was once one of the most photographed in Britain, a fine sight on the River Bure. However, it burned down in 1963 and, today, only the lower parts of the building remain.

Good family beach. Clean toilets. Lifeguard. Windsurfers further along to the right. Parking £1.50 per hour August 2023.

Horstead watermill was burnt down in 1963 and all that remains is the lower section of the mill building. It was one of the biggest and most photographed mills in the country.

Things to know: First of all, it is a delightful walk. If you begin at Ludham Bridge, there are plenty of places to park along the road. They are free parking pull-outs, so you're not exposed to parking on a narrow street. There is a bakery and public toilets. Although the walk parallels the river, you're not really next to it, except for a couple of spots. Nonetheless it's still very picturesque. Most of the path was easy to navigate accept for one short stretch where the tall grass had obscured the trail. It was very short, and if you look to your left, you'll see the posts of a short bridge, so just aim for that. At about the halfway point is How Hill Estate. It's rather a dramatic building with a thatched roof. Unusual for a building that size. I think you can get a room there if you're not from the area. There's a large lawn there, a place to watch the boats and, most importantly, public toilets and take-away café. It can be busy on the weekends so pick your day. Although we were there on a Sunday in July and it wasn't bad. Then it's back the way you came. FYI The Dog pub is just a short, safe, walk up the road from the start/end of the walk, in case you're interested.
