Burgh Windmill

The windmill features five sails that turned clockwise, rising prominently above the Suffolk countryside with its traditional brick tower construction and white painted cap.

The current tower structure, dating from 1844, replaced an earlier windmill that stood at the same location since at least 1810 according to historical maps.

Local miller families, including the Dobsons who operated the mill until the 1960s, maintained this agricultural center that processed grain for the surrounding farms.

Visitors can explore the seven-floor structure on Sundays between 2 PM and 4 PM, with guided tours explaining the milling processes and machinery.

The mill house property includes equestrian facilities, a tennis court, and a detached cottage, set within extensive grounds offering views across the Suffolk landscape.
