This is one of those deserted places with a startling piece of ancient history. A remarkable place to visit. The cap stone is enormous - I read somewhere that it is 17 tonnes - and somewhat extraordinary nested in a valley which is fairly remote from other places. If you want a special experience with stones, this is it. I walked up the steep hill from Fyfield and then back down to the Den, and then walked back along the flat (shorter distance) to the A4 a little further East towards Marlborough (SU 156 688). This is the easiest route but you’ll need wellies after heavy rain because it was flooded for a short distance.

I love Marlborough and the High Street is quaint yet functional with a great mix of quirky and useful shops, and lots of places to eat and drink.

Set high above the village of Wilton, about 9 miles south east of Marlborough in Wiltshire, Wilton Windmill is the only working windmill in Wessex and still produces wholemeal, stone-ground flour. We are open every year from Easter to the end of September on Sundays and Bank Holidays from 2pm to 5pm when the windmill building is open for guided tours. The shepherd's hut shop, serving refreshments and gifts and providing a seating area, is also open at this time, as are the loos. You can visit the Windmill at any time - there is a picnic area with breathtaking views across to the Downs and the building can be viewed from the outside. Dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a lead and pick up any mess before you leave. The Windmill is run entirely by volunteers from the Wilton Windmill Society, so please make a contribution in the donation box by the gate when you visit or make a donation here on the website when you get home. You can also get involved by volunteering or becoming a member. We hope you enjoy your visit. Please do not leave valuables in your car whilst you visit - thieves are known to operate in the area, which is a real shame, but there you go!
We had a lovely visit to the windmill with our two young children. They enjoyed exploring and looking at the old machinery and the windmill. We loved the grain store up on the stones as hadn't seen this is person before. Will definitely by coming back again to see it when it is working ????
