Herne Windmill
About the mill
One of Kent’s oldest smock mills, Herne Mill is dated 1789. During its long working life, which ended in the 1950s, the brick base of the mill was raised to two storeys in height. The black smock tower contains three pairs of millstones which were driven by four patent sweeps.
Restoration of the mill began in the 1970s and we acquired the Grade I listed building in 1984. It is now managed and operated by the Friends of Herne Mill.
There is disabled access to the ground floor and ‘Wootton Room’ which contains milling displays and models.
