NIce spot to take on some water

Britain's oldest working windmill, built in 1665 by Thomas Budgen and now a Grade I-listed building.

Outwood Windmill is a Grade I listed post mill located in Outwood, Surrey, England. It was built in 1665 by Thomas Budgen, a miller from Nutfield in Surrey, and is Britain’s oldest working windmill. The mill is a post mill with patent shutters and has four sails. The whole body, weighing around 25 tons, rotates on a central post made of a single enormous oak tree, to bring the mill round into the wind. The mill is still operational and grinds corn when the wind is adequate.

Beautiful views but be aware the last (wooded) bit is exceptionally muddy when we visited in a wet December!

Found out the hard way that this is indeed very muddy - impassible at the moment on a bike, even in early May!

Same as my previous reviews, it's only joy to pedal on its English roads despite the coating which is not the best. But in bikepacking mode you have to be able to ride everywhere 😀

Download offline maps, there is absolutely no network here. There is also the Bell Inn 🛎 pub where you can access wifi and good ole drinks 🍻 to chill

Excellent spot for a (hiking) break: excellent quality and generous portions + super friendly and smiley staff. Serve tea, coffee, a variety of scones, cakes, breakfast and sandwiches. Seating indoors and outdoors. Would highly recommend! Opening hours summer 2021: All days 10.00 - 17.00
