The MillWilton Windmill stands high above the small village of Wilton, near Marlborough in Wiltshire, on a site that provides magnificent views of the surrounding hills. The mill is the only working windmill in Wessex and was originally constructed in 1821 after the new Kennet and Avon canal had been built. For more information click here. Wilton Windmill is open on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays between 2pm and 5pm, from Easter until the end of September. There are also other days when it is open for special events which are advertised on this website. Where To Find UsBy Road: Wilton Windmill is located close to the Village of Wilton, off the A338 between Hungerford and Burbage in Wiltshire. By Rail: Trains run from Paddington to Bedwyn station, from where you can walk or cycle the 3.5km to the mill. There are some hills! By Foot: You can also walk from Great Bedwyn along the towpath then left at Crofton Crossing up the Roman Road. (See
