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.

Accessed westbound via a sharp, narrow chicane just before the entrance to Anglesey Abbey. Using it eastbound requires crossing against the oncoming traffic at both ends. Fine for tourers, fast road cyclists are probably better sticking to the road.

It has nice views to the fields next to the road. Not very easy to access going east, the entry is a few meters after the “Park Farm” house

Go inside the milll, open daily

Beautiful spot to rest for a while.

Large sections around Quy Fen/Lode/Horningsea area, can be quite fun for gravel riders - as long as you stay away from the turnstiles, the gates, and the cows - in the middle section - it's possible to do a few loops around at a very fast clip on a decent gravel bike - then continue on - on very uneven (in patches) surface tarmac farm single track as far as Ely - criss-crossing routes 11 & 51 of the National Cycle Network (well signposted for those without GPS) past Reach/edge of Burwell/Wicken Fen. I guess these are very familiar routes to many cyclists, touring, gravel, and even the odd road bike cyclist - after all, some sections can be done in different bike types - it's just a question of avoiding parts that aren't suitable for your personal bike. 🚲

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
