Geocache Description:

Located next to the 200 year old Fulbourn windmill; outside the gated property, in the fields.

UPDATE 18 Jan 2009: new container, new location.

Fulbourn Windmill is a smock mill, the Windmill overlooks the village of Fulbourn, four miles east of the City of Cambridge in Eastern England.
The Mill was built in 1808 for John Chaplin, the local landowner and farmer. His family owned the Mill for over a hundred years before selling it to C. J. Mapey, who worked the Mill until 1937, when it was left to decay, after the Mill had yet again been hit by lightning.
In the latter years it was worked from a standing engine, turning a pulley on the outside of the Mill, underdriving one pair of stones. By 1975 the Mill was in a very poor state and local people formed the Fulbourn Windmill Society to start a restoration programme.

There is a small spot for parking opposite the windmill, next to the red trash bin.
