How you can help this nationally important piece of our industrial heritage.

In 2019 we discovered rot in the huge wooden beams that support Bourn Windmill, which is the oldest windmill in the UK. The mill was at risk of collapse and was closed for 3 years whilst an incredible project took place to save it and re-open it to the public.

Our sites provide some of the best walking in the Cambridge area. Explore woodland trails, historic landmarks, and family-friendly activities.

At Wandlebury & CPPF sites

Bourn Windmill is a fascinating classroom topic, and also a great place to visit with your class.
