"Possibly the finest Windmill in the land" Standing at the highest point overlooking the historic Wealden town of Cranbrook and maintained in working order, this Grade 1 Listed Building is the tallest surviving "smock mill" in the British Isles. Managed by Volunteers of the Cranbrook Windmill Association, the windmill is open at regular times from the beginning of April to the end of September each year. Educational and other Group Visits are welcome throughout the year. Go to the Visit Us webpage to view our Public Open Days.
