Located at the eastern end of the Pewsey Vale, the mill is set high above the village of Wilton, in the heart of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty, which is a tranquil and stunning landscape of rolling chalk downland, forests, woods and dales.
The mill was built as a traditional tower mill with a fantail which turns the cap, to ensure that the sails always point into the wind.
You can visit the Windmill site at any time – there is a picnic area with breathtaking views across to the Downs and the building can be viewed from the outside.
