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.

"Stayed at the hotel as I was attending a birthday party in nearby Earls Colne. The hotel was easy to find and location to the village was excellent. Staff were so helpful from check in to check out. Was a slight issue with my room during my stay but this was sorted expeditiously by the duty manager and housekeeping. Would recommend a stay here and would certainly stay again next time I visit the area. "

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the staff were friendly. "

Wilde Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was perfect, the kitchen area was well equipped with everything you needed to prepare and cook, the bed was super comfy and the staff really friendly. My only issue was the position of the bed, you could only access it from one side due to the closeness to the wall, this was an issue in the middle of the night when I had to get out, climbing over my sleeping husband was not ideal and getting out the bottom of the bed was also not ideal. I managed but many people would not. The room was big enough that this should not have been an issue. Other than that it was a great place to stay, ideally situated to walk round all the colleges and very close to the river Cam to experience punting. "
