Sarre Windmill built 1820.

Gypsy Rover MkIV looks small from the top of Sarre Mill.
Yesterday we had our own private viewing of the windmill which as it stands is one of only half a dozen in Britain in full working order. Sadly the owner informed us that the mill ceased operation in November 2010 due to the high cost of wheat (£100 per ton) making it non viable. This is a real shame as we can see the windmill will just fall into a state of disrepair and will be lost to future generations.
More modern milling machine.

Mind you head!
The owner is turning the site into holiday apartments and a museum but will retain the Caravan Club CL. We have found the site great for easy public transport to the whole Kent district and would recommend it as a good stopping point. We just need to convince the owner to put in power point supply.
