In 1934 Baron Fairhaven purchased the mill and added it to the Anglesey Abbey estate, and subsequently restored it to working order as a corn mill. It could no longer be worked when the National Trust took over the estate in 1966, but in 1978 the Trust with the Cambridgeshire Wind and Water Mill Society, began to restore the building and the equipment, and by 1992 it was again producing flour. The mill is conventional arrangement with a wide undershot wheel driving stones through a pit wheel, a wallower, a vertical shaft and a spur wheel. On the top floor is a hoist for raising sacks of grain that can be fed to the stones. The mill produces both wheat and oat flour that is sold in the mill shop.

Go inside the milll, open daily

P.S. The land owner/farmer has obviously had problems with unauthorised vehicles using this track, because there are now large hay bales installed either side of the ford and in front of nearby farm gates. Access across the stream via the adjacent footbridge is still possible, but don't be disappointed if you wanted to take a run through the ford. P.P.S. The hay bales have now been removed from the ford!

nice sections of fast gravel on either side of the ford. great section from Babraham to Stapleford

Flat gravel & dirt road, shared with walkers & dogs, with a few scenic landmarks along the way

It's also a bridleway so watch out for occasional piles of horse shit.

Set in a National Trust Garden you have to pay for the privilege to enter but it certainly worth it. Its beautiful all year round

Yes, I can vouch for that: a great cycle route between Babraham and Stapleford all year round, although the ford is somewhat deeper in the winter!
