Miller's Loop

We will meet at Neville Turner Way car park.

From here we will head to see our first view of the windmill.
The route is fairly flat, but a little effort is required on the approach towards the windmill and then past the church on our return.
Heading out of Waltham we are heading to the small hamlet of Brigsley, this use to be home of the best ice creams ever, but alas after many years of trying to find a buyer for the business it is now lost.
As we freewheel down the hill, the cattle may be swinging their tails in the village's dividing field.
Passing this field and turning into Ashby, this is a quiet sleepy village which has many turns.
We turn left after passing through, along this very country road, with tall tree line roadside. Again we turn left heading back to Brigsley.
We may see the tractors in the fields, tendering to their grows. Along this stretch we can see the windmill again.
Once in the village we will turn for that church. A little speed will help you gain some much need ground.
Here we will head back toward the Waltham with the windmill growing in size as we approach.
The windmill started as a smock mill with a bakery on the site. The present mill was completed by John Saundertonfrom Louth in 1880. It had 6 double sided sails and a traditional Lincolnshire ogee shaped cap. The mill is still used today with the present Miller grinding best quality grain to produce flour using traditional methods.
Before returning to the starting car park.

We look forward to you join us
