Beautifully restored windmill with Tea Rooms, Bakery, Gift shop, gardens and Cycle Hire.

Standing in the heart of Norfolk's undulating fields, Bircham Windmill now looks as it did over 100 years ago. At that time over 300 mills ground corn for horse and cattle feed and bread-making in Norfolk.
Today, very few windmills are left, and Bircham Mill is considered one of the best still remaining: it is the only windmill in working order in the area open to the public.
Visitors can climb the five floors up to the fan stage and, when possible, on windy days, visitors can also see the sails and the milling machinery turning. There are also many items of interest to see in the tearooms, bakery and grounds

Directions:
Bircham lies to the north of the A148 Fakenham/King's Lynn road - sigposted from Hillington.
