Cranbrook Union Windmill

Built in 1814, the windmill is one of the borough's few Grade I listed buildings and is a key landmark building in the Cranbrook conservation area. It has recently undergone major renovations and is in excellent working order. Standing at the highest point overlooking the town, it is the second tallest surviving windmill in Great Britain and the tallest surviving smock mill, with an eight-sided three-storey brick base and a four-storey wooden tower above, clad in white weatherboard.

Private parties may also be conducted around the mill at other times by arrangement.
