The last surviving working windmill in Hampshire was built by a Mrs
Phoebe Langtry in 1814 at a cost of £800.
Inactive from the time of the depression in the
1880s, the tower mill was restored to full working order between 1976 and 1991. Its
sails revolve whenever a good northerly or southerly wind
blows, producing stoneground flour for sale. Next to the
mill is the Windmill Wood Nature Trail, a woodland
habitat supporting a wide range of wildlife
including woodpeckers. Open all year - phone for admission times.
