Geocache Description:

This beautiful windmill was originally constructed in 1876, and has been restored by its current owner. You can park beside it easily, and view the windmill, but the mill property is private.  

There is no need to enter the private property, or the school field, to find the cache. 


You may be surprised to find this beautiful windmill which is implanted... no, it was there first!, so a better word would be surrounded, by ex-council houses and other estate houses as one approaches the main A12 from the beautiful river-town of Woodbridge. The River Deben has its tidal estuary here and this continues on to Melton. Woodbridge is famous for interesting sailing, and there are thriving sailing clubs along the waterfront. As well as the set of one's sails, there are states of the tide, spooky gusts of wind, eddies and shifting sandbanks to encounter. The town itself is full of lovely shops and cafés, and a day can happily be spent exploring. One can get off the train and reach the river within a few metres. There are caches galore to find along the water's edge, but this cache shows another of the beauties to be found in Woodbridge. Although it is quieter here discretion will be needed at times. 

The co-ordinates have been averaged many times but each reading was declared by my GPS to be 5-9m accuracy today, I will go back and check. The hint should help anyone finding that the co-ordinates are not pin-pointing the spot.
