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.

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Utmerket

"Meget rene rom. God mat i restauranten og et fint område for baren med mange valgmuligheter. Resepsjonen og personellet er meget behjelpelig og det var i praksis et hotell som har alt på stell. Bassenget har meget god standard sammen med badstue. Treningsrommet var veldig godt utstyrt. Rommen er stille og av høy standard. Ser nytt ut hele hotellet. Vil sterkt anbefale hotellet. Det er en fin gåtur til sentrum, ca. 10-15min. "
