This is one of the two famous mills in the village of Pakenham, in this case, the windmill. Built in 1831 (though there are sources dating the construction back to 1820), this mill has been restored and maintained over time, with a notable restoration carried out after being struck by lightning in 1971.

Watch out for the cattle grids at each end of the heath road, they really rattle you if you hit them at speed!

Knettishall Heath nature reserve covers about 430 acres (174 hectares) and also includes woodland and riverside meadows, as well as large areas of heath. In season, there is a visitor welcome and cafe van in the car park every Wed-Sun plus bank holidays 10am-4pm. If you go early in the morning, you're likely to find the ponies grazing much closer to the road.

Pleasant but unexceptional Suffolk village. Just spin your wheels through it.

Pakenham Windmill

This small patch of lowland heath makes a dramatic change to the nearby Waveney Valley and its water meadows. Just south-west of the market town of Diss, rambling around this beautiful open access land is extremely pleasant and the Angles Way long-distance footpath cuts right through it. Keep an eye out for the heath’s resident wildlife, from its green woodpeckers and large rabbit population to the secretive adder which can sometimes be seen sunbathing in a coil. Yellow hammers also forage here and the plantlife, from lichens to sorrel, is just as varied.

Gislingham is situated around the area of Stowmarket, Eye and Diss and dates from at least the 9th century. It is in the northern part of Suffolk that was once part of Norfolk. The village was well established by the time of the Domesday Book
