    Una bellissima casetta piccola ma con tutto il necessario e arredata molto bene. Anche con una veranda esterna con tavolo e sedie e un angolo per il barbecue. In campagna in una zona tranquilla in cui ti puoi rilassare e nello stesso tempo vicina...

James and Shell
Traditional working windmill from the 1800s. The last corn mill built by Hunts of Cambride. Renovation started in 2020 and will generate electricity for the mill and national grid.
James is a semi retired boatbuilder / millwright and Shell is a freelance journalist
The mill is on the Cambridge/Suffolk border and ideally placed for visiting Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely and Bury St Edmonds. Swaffam Prior is the only village in the UK to have two working Mills opposite each other. Fosters mills still grinds organic flour which can be purchased from their shop next to the mill. The location is very quiet, so perfect for relaxation. The Millers Cottage has its own garden area with decking, seating, BBQ and hot tub.
