Enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the last surviving post mill in Leicestershire with our knowledgeable volunteer guides.
Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill was in a sorry state but thankfully a generous grant enabled us to bring it back to its former glory last year. On your visit, you'll learn all about the fascinating history of the mill, see its newly-functioning historic machinery in action, and spot the mysterious ancient graffiti and apotropaic marks that daub its interior.
This Grade II* listed windmill and Scheduled Ancient Monument is only open to the public twice a year for National Mills Weekend in May and Heritage Open Days in September, so don't miss out!
Tours take place hourly, last around 45 minutes, and are limited to six people due to the small size of the site.
Access
Unfortunately this tour is not suitable for those with limited mobility due to the mill's steep steps, low ceilings and narrow spaces. It is also unsuitable for young children who could fall through the steep open steps. Children must be accompanied by their parents or carers at all times. There are no toilets on site, but there are some at the Windmill Farm Park next door.
