The volunteers were very helpful and knowledgeable about their chosen subjects (traction engine and world war 1 and 2 memobilia to name a few) It's needs more support ( and better signage) as it is a hidden gem. The exhibits are good. Donation only but well worth the money.

A 19th century windmill which was refurbished in 2014. A new H frame, repaired cap and new sails were included in the full restoration. This is a unique mill as it 'left handed'- the sails turn clockwise - and it has 5 sails. Unfortunately, due to the high winds, all of the repairs have come to nothing as the cap was blown off and is now awaiting repair. The site is closed to visitors .

A wonderful experience. The mill tour is great and the volunteers are so knowledgeable and explain fully, the workings of the mill. There is a museum that provides an educational experience for the young and a heritage experience for both locals and visitors. Tea, coffee or cold drinks are served in the cafe by really nice friendly staff and the homemade cakes are to die for. In December every year Santa comes to the mill and gives presents to the children.So if you are anywhere near Burgh Le Marsh then give the mill site a visit.
