Le Moulin, Summit in Sark, Guernsey

Le Moulin is a summit on Sark, a small island that belongs to the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. It sits on open high ground in the interior of the island, surrounded by footpaths that connect the inland fields to the coastal edges.

A lintel on Sark's first windmill at Le Moulin bears the date 1571, recording the mill built on the island's highest ground. The mill has since lost its sails but was restored. Le Moulin, at 114 metres, is the highest point of Sark and of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

The name "Le Moulin" means "the mill" in French, referring to the windmill that stands on Sark's highest point. A lintel on the first mill on the island bears the date 1571. The mill has lost its sails but has been restored, and it remains the landmark at the 114-metre summit.

The summit is reached on foot along footpaths that branch off from the island's main tracks, as no paved roads lead to the top. Sturdy shoes are a good idea, especially on damp days when the paths can become slippery.

Sark is one of the last places in Europe where cars are banned, which means every approach to this summit happens on foot, by bicycle, or by horse-drawn carriage. This makes the walk to the top feel noticeably different from a typical countryside hike.
