Outwood Windmill is a Grade I listed post mill located in Outwood, Surrey, England. It was built in 1665 by Thomas Budgen, a miller from Nutfield in Surrey, and is Britain’s oldest working windmill. The mill is a post mill with patent shutters and has four sails. The whole body, weighing around 25 tons, rotates on a central post made of a single enormous oak tree, to bring the mill round into the wind. The mill is still operational and grinds corn when the wind is adequate.

After a 50 nm crossing from France we are now in England. One imagines arriving in good old England a bit differently, like Daniel Defoe. However, the marina looks different than expected, new buildings all around, probably all holiday apartments. Charming nonetheless.
