About

The Rayleigh Windmill is an award-winning tourist and educational attraction, and popular venue for Weddings and other celebrations. It contains an accredited museum, exhibition space and information about Rayleigh Mount. Everyone is welcome to come and explore this 210+ year old Grade II listed building, learn how the Windmill worked, try a quiz in the museum, dress up in traditional costumes and find out about the Castle that once stood on Rayleigh Mount! The friendly team of volunteers are always on hand to offer guided tours. The Windmill hosts various exhibitions throughout the season on the 2nd floor (details available via our webpage). The Windmill is open to the public from the end of March to the end of September, opening times during this period as listed. Please check our website first before visiting as the Windmill may be closed for a Wedding. Entry is free of charge, a minimum £1 donation per person is encouraged.
