Towering seven-stories, Maud Foster Windmill is a wonderful five sail windmill on the Maud Foster Drain in Boston. Measuring 80 feet (24.38 m), the windmill is one of the largest operating windmills in England. The windmill was built in 1819 to grind corn and it operated until 1948. In 1988, the windmill was bought and restored back to its former glory. You can visit the mill, enjoy the views overlooking the town from its balcony, and tuck into a bowl of porridge in the shop.

Freiston Shore Marshes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Freiston Shore RSPB reserve extends into the "wilderness" of The Wash, one of the UK’s most important estuaries for wildlife.

Here you can get excellent views of large groups of waders on the salt water lagoon at high tide. Tree sparrows, yellowhammers and skylarks are common around the reserve throughout the year, with mad march hares in spring, ringed plovers in summer and brent geese and hunting harriers in winter.

Pack a pair of binoculars!
