From 1666 to the present day, there has always been a mill in the village of Waltham, nestled between the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the nearby resort of Cleethorpes.
Come and Explore Waltham Windmill.

Several Mills have been built and operated here, and the present one, which was built in 1878 - 1880, is a fully restored and operational six sail, six storied working windmill.
The mill is a great educational resource, visited by groups of schoolchildren for National Curriculum studies, and is also a popular venue for local families and visitors to Waltham alike.
Waltham Windmill Trust manages the Waltham Windmill site on a 99 year lease from North East Lincolnshire County Council to the Trust.
Comprising of a committee made up of 3 Parish Councillors, 6 North East Lincolnshire Councillors and 3 members of The Waltham Windmill Preservation Society the Trust is responsible for the repair and upkeep of the mill and managing the site as a whole.
Waltham Windmill Preservation Society
has worked hard for many years, running car boot sales, auctions, and many other events towards the upkeep of the magnificent Waltham Windmill, which stands proudly on high ground and can be seen for miles around.
