Lovely walk on local public pathway with fantastic views of Windmill known variously as John Webb's Mill or Lowe's Mill.

Thaxted Windmill is a grade II listed tower mill on the edge of the historic hilltop town of Thaxted, about 6 miles south east of Saffron Walden. The mill stands 48 feet high, and is made of red brick, with four wooden sails.

The mill was erected in 1804 on land owned by John Webb, a successful businessman who owned a number of properties locally, including a brick and tile work, and the local Swan Inn. There were 4 other mills in Thaxted at the time, but these were traditional post mills, whereas Webb's Mill was built to a tower design (a post mill rotates the entire body of the structure around a central column, while a tower mill rotates a moveable cap to which the sails are attatched).

The family of millers who worked the mill were the Lowe family, and so the building is sometimes referred to as Lowe's Mill. Interestingly, one of the recent leaders of the John Webb’s Windmill Trust that runs the mill is a direct descendent of the Lowe family.

The building material was local brick, fired just half a mile away, and there were 3 sets of millstones. The mill was in operation for just over a century, but by 1907 it was uneconomic to keep open. The advent of efficient steam engines made wind power less appealling and more costly.

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, convienent stay for early morning flight. Hotel has been recently refurbished."

Novotel London Stansted Airport

6/10 Okay

"You charge 13 pounds for cold breakfast and 18 for hot breakfast. How about don't charge for cold breakfast. Don't even offer it. And pay the extra money for better internet. I did speed tests that only gave me 1--4 Mbps... come on. This isn't dial up anymore. You can pay the extra $100 a month for better internet and recoup your expense by charging an extra 25 cents per room per day to cover this cost and some. "
