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.

Clayton Hotel Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"All was good as usually- great staff, room to my liking, good food "

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Hampton hotel, does exactly what it says on the tin. Good for a nights stay before an early morning flight. I stayed here Friday night, and it was comfortable! Restaurant menu was very limited in the evening, and not the cheapest either. Breakfast was pretty decent, you can’t go wrong there! Reception staff very quick to respond to you at check in and when ever needed. Bar and restaurant staff a little slow, but they could’ve been short staffed and not coping well. Who knows! Room good and large, bathroom decent too. WiFi is standard speed, so it’s ok. "
