This virtual cache takes you into Thaxted, a town and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of northwest Essex, England. The town is 15miles north of the county town of Chelmsford and is 5.5 miles from the M11 motorway,
For over 1000 years people have lived in and visited one of this country`s finest towns. With its famous Guildhall, magnificent Church and restored Windmill set against a backdrop of Medieval houses it is considered the jewel in the crown of Essex.
Thaxted is a small country town with a recorded history which dates back to before the Domesday Book. Yet although the town is full of considerable architectural interest, its attraction as a place to visit arises just as much from the special character of the town as a community. Thaxted has no artificial tourist attractions; it remains today what it has been for the last ten centuries - a thriving town which moves with the times, but also treats its heritage from the past with great respect. The past and the present come together in Thaxted as part of the daily life of everyone in the town.
The co-ordinates take you to the restored Windmill built in 1804. It features a fenced area surrounding the Windmill, with benches and plenty of space to have a picnic. This space is open all year round and the Windmill itself is open to visitors from 2.00pm to 5.00pm, Sundays and Bank Holidays, from May to September inclusive.
