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.

A Jacobean-style house full of rich history, from a monastic priory to 20th-century home. At the age of 30, the future Lord Fairhaven began to create his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons and a cosy house in which to entertain. Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury.

In the summer you can rent cycles adjacent the NT building (near the cycle stands) at Wicken Fen. The cafe there is good but I'd recommend parking your cycle in your eyeline unless you have secure locks (take your removable valuables off the cycle)-it gets very busy around those stands.

Lovely clock tower with stained glass windows

Go inside the milll, open daily

Not really unstable when moist on 40 mm gravel tires

There's a stunning collection of fine art in the Abbey building and most the volunteer's are well informed should you have any questions regarding certain pieces

A bike lane runs behind it over the pavement to cut the roundabout if you want to.

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

The Jubilee Clock Tower is an impressive sight at the top of Newmarket High Street. Built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.

It is remote and quiet not that many people around and tranquil

Built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, the Jubilee Clock Tower is a grand sight at the top of Newmarket's High Street. The Clock Tower is the official start point for the Stour Valley Path, a 63-mile (101 km) long-distance trail that ends at Cattawade on the Stour Estuary.

On a windy day, a headwind will not be a lot of fun. Try and plan this route with a tailwind

The Newmarket Clock Tower is located at the top of the High Street. Local builder Richard Arber built it to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee of 1887. The tower was paid for by public subscription, but local trainer Charles Blanton donated the clock made by Smith of Derby Group. The clock tower was officially opened in 1890. It takes 115 turns to fully wind the clock every week. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_clock#Newmarket)

A passion for tradition and impressing guests inspired one man to transform a run-down country house and desolate landscape. At the age of 30, the future Lord Fairhaven began to create his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons and a cosy house in which to entertain. Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury. Inside: fine furnishings, books, paintings, silver and rare clocks give a feeling of opulence. Outside: 46 hectares (114 acres) offer vibrant colour, delicious scents and the simple pleasures of nature. (https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/anglesey-abbey-gardens-and-lode-mill#Overview)

Working water mill. Check the opening hours and you will be able to see demonstration of how it works and even buy flour made there.

This is when a gravel bike comes into it's own. Mixed surface so 30mm tyres make it a lot easier

I agree with John Powell: the Lode Way is a great route for a ride between Cambridge and Ely. Also worth mentioning that there is a National Trust restaurant at Wicken Fen nature reserve. Cycle racks available. Nice stop-off to enjoy a light lunch or a coffee and cake. Enjoy sitting outside and watch the wildlife above Wicken Fen while sipping your coffee.

This section is on the Lodes Way, a brilliant cycling route between Anglesey Abbey (excellent Cafe, park your cycle in the back yard) and Wicken Fen (The Maids Head in the centre of Wicken serves great food, the Methodist Chapel often serves afternoon tea on summer Sunday afternoons -if open there's a 'Teas' sign displayed prominently)
