Weybourne Windmill, Tower mill and Grade II listed building in Weybourne, Norfolk, England.

The five-story red brick windmill stands on the eastern high ground above Weybourne village, alongside the A149 coastal road linking King's Lynn to Great Yarmouth.

Built in 1850, the windmill operated until 1916 with three pairs of overdriven millstones on the second floor, powered by four double shuttered sails.

The structure represents Norfolk's agricultural heritage, displaying traditional English milling technology through its boat-shaped cap and eight-bladed fan mechanisms.

Located within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the windmill sits 3 miles west of Sheringham, making it accessible for heritage exploration.

The windmill's sails remain permanently fixed facing east due to the absence of a brakewheel during its 1969 restoration by Thompson & Son.
