Horsey Windpump is a windpump or drainage windmill in the care of the National Trust in the village of Horsey, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The structure is a grade II* listed building.[1]
[edit] History
The windpump was working until it was struck by lightning in 1943. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1948 from the Buxton Family and has been restored. The Buxton family continue to manage the estate, emphasising nature conservation. Because of this the estate has become an internationally important wildlife site. On the estate there are waymarked circular walks, the main one being the path via Brograve Mill, the walk provides great views across Horsey Mere and access to the beach at Horsey Gap. There are many windmills in this particular area including West Somerton Mill, Heigham Holmes Mill, Brograve Mill, and Lambrigg Mill
Horsey Windpump is open daily from March to October.
