Great Bircham Windmill, Grade II listed windmill in Great Bircham, Norfolk, England.

The 52-foot tall tower mill features cream-colored bricks, four double Patent sails, and an ogee cap with a six-bladed fantail system.

Built in 1846 to replace a post mill, the structure operated until 1916 and became part of the Sandringham Estate in 1939 before its 1977 restoration.

The windmill represents Norfolk's agricultural heritage, as one of over 300 mills that once operated in the region for grinding corn.

The facility includes a bakery, tea rooms, gift shop, and museum, with free parking and wheelchair accessibility on the ground floor.

Visitors can climb through five floors to the fan stage and observe the milling machinery in action during windy days.
