Lovely walk on local public pathway with fantastic views of Windmill known variously as John Webb's Mill or Lowe's Mill.

Thaxted Windmill is a grade II listed tower mill on the edge of the historic hilltop town of Thaxted, about 6 miles south east of Saffron Walden. The mill stands 48 feet high, and is made of red brick, with four wooden sails.

The mill was erected in 1804 on land owned by John Webb, a successful businessman who owned a number of properties locally, including a brick and tile work, and the local Swan Inn. There were 4 other mills in Thaxted at the time, but these were traditional post mills, whereas Webb's Mill was built to a tower design (a post mill rotates the entire body of the structure around a central column, while a tower mill rotates a moveable cap to which the sails are attatched).

The family of millers who worked the mill were the Lowe family, and so the building is sometimes referred to as Lowe's Mill. Interestingly, one of the recent leaders of the John Webb’s Windmill Trust that runs the mill is a direct descendent of the Lowe family.

The building material was local brick, fired just half a mile away, and there were 3 sets of millstones. The mill was in operation for just over a century, but by 1907 it was uneconomic to keep open. The advent of efficient steam engines made wind power less appealling and more costly.

Top Thaxted Hotel Reviews

Down Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Charming hotel and grounds, really friendly and accommodating staff, and exceptionally dog-friendly. The harness/lead sets in the room were both a surprise and a delight. We didn't get to try the spa this time, however other guests mentioned the spa(s) were really good too. Quite a bit of work being done in the grounds, but all looks like additional development/features, but in Feb, so not a problem at all. We'll definitely be back."

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Quick, friendly & professional check in. Room was spotless, and the new style is gorgeous!! Bed exceptionally comfy (as always) Everything was there, that I needed. Breakfast was perfect - shame I couldn't stay here longer, but was only an overnight booking. Would definitely stay here again."

Novotel Cambridge North

10/10 Excellent

"Room spotless, excellent sound proofing with regards to the train station, great size, lovely big shower, breakfast excellent and very helpful friendly staff. The location is perfect for Cambridge, being right next door to the train station and only five mins and you are in the town centre!"
