Stevington Winmill is a historic post mill. It is a Grade II listed building and is one of the few remaining post mills in the United Kingdom. The mill was built in the early 19th century and was used to grind corn. It was powered by a sails that turned a vertical shaft, which in turn drove the millstones. The mill ceased operation in the early 20th century, but it was later restored and is now open to the public. To get inside the windmill it is possible to borrow a key from one of the two village pubs but they were closed on my visit on a Tuesday

when I walked the path found the Nene Way way footpath overground with nettles and weeds making the trek less pleasant, did see nesting swans with signets on the river bank.

Part of the River Nene Regional Park, the lake is a lovely place to spin by or stop to admire the vies. There are loads of shared walking and biking paths to choose from, all good riding surface that is suitable for all tyre types.

The Nene Way runs along the River Nene. Really worth seeing!

We did the 3.63 mile loop from Harrold Odell county park. It's a fab park and route, although you'll need wellies after a wet winter! There is also a lot of farmland in the area and we heard bird scarers almost the whole way round, even walking through the village, so if you're bringing a dog with a noise aversion, you may want to keep them on the lead.

Stevington Windmill is one of Britain's finest examples of a postmill and is open to the public. To access its interior, keys can be collected from the Royal George or the Red Lion. Built in the 18th century, it is today in rough working order, though requires near constant maintenance. It is possibly the last working windmill with four common sails in Britain.

Harrold is a picturesque Bedfordshire village on the banks of the River Great Ouse. The village enjoys a prime location on the edge of the Harrold-Odell Country Park, which comprises two large lakes, parkland and water meadows. The village is notable for its ancient bridge, which spans the river and connects to an equally ancient causeway to the village of Carlton.

Stevington Windmill is an impressive postmill built in the 18th century and is the only complete windmill left in Bedfordshire. It was constructed around a central post so that it can be turned to face into the wind. The windmill operated commercially, mostly grinding cattle feed, until 1939. It was purchased and restored in 1951 by Bedfordshire County Council, as part of the County's contribution to the Festival of Britain. Stevington Windmill was probably the last windmill in Britain working with four common (cloth covered) sails, which were replaced 2004. The sails are turned periodically and the machinery, though requiring constant maintenance, is in rough working order.

You can't help but pass through the area on the way to Lyveden via a disused Railway Track. You can park there but there is a charge, which is why we park where the ride starts. However, there is a visitor centre there and you can get food and drink and toilets are available.

Well restored wooden windmill. Keys available from local pub.
