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

Gentle hill climb, good view of the Castle and a nice coffee and cake at the cafe Little shops nice to look round too

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.

There's a bicycle hire/repair shop next to the cafe, opening in Spring 2022. https://www.facebook.com/Grounds-Cycle-Centres-Salcey-Forest-111230761354696/ https://www.groundscyclecentres.uk/

NOTE: The treetop walkway has not been available since May 2018, when the engineers who ensure the safety of this feature deemed it unsafe. Forestry England remain hopeful that they can secure funding to get part of this popular attraction reinstated. There's still hundreds of acres to explore and your visit to the forest will not be impacted by your inability to use the treetop walk. https://www.forestryengland.uk/salcey-forest-tree-top-walkway

Great easy 5 mile gravel loop

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.
