The Wicken Windmill Preservation Group (of amateur millwrights and supporters) bought the mill in 1987 in order to restore it to working condition.
Through donations and grants (and lots of hard work) the mill recently ground its first flour by wind for many years. Work is still needed to ensure that the flour is suitable for human consumption, and to complete the repair of the other machinery.
The mill is open to the public the first weekend of every month, and on other occasions when the sails are turning. Entry is free, but donations are always welcome.
Open: First weekend of every month, 10am to 5.30pm.
Grid Ref: Sheet 143. 570706.
Location: 10 miles south-east of Ely, off A142. Mill is south of the High Street.
Parking: At the mill.
Public Transport: Wicken
