Lynemouth Windmill

Highlight • Historical Site

Also known as Lynemouth Windmill a now sail-less windmill apparently once served as a navigation aid or way marker for sailing ships out at sea.

Woodhorn Mill has a long history, with records from 1663 mentioning both a water mill and a windmill on the site. The current stone structure likely dates back to the 19th century, and although a fire in 1853 destroyed much of the machinery, significant remnants like internal woodwork, gearing, and some sail arms remain. This Grade II listed building occupies a prominent position on high ground, probably the same spot as the earlier windmill. Interestingly, it was operated by a man named Robert Hindhaugh in the early 19th century. You might also notice that it's missing from some older maps—this was likely because it was such an important landmark for seafarers.
