Herne Mill, viewed from the A299 eastbound

Image: © Robert Lamb Taken: 14 Feb 2009

Herne Mill sits at the top of the hill off Canterbury Road near to Herne Village, and can be seen from the A299 as it rounds the corner and approaches the turn-off for the A2990 (its older counterpart) and the A291 Canterbury Road. Whether it is still operational or not, however, is another question, as I have never seen it turning. The wind propeller, however, is evidently working, as the windmill was turned in the opposite direction when I last passed here. View taken from the A299 eastbound (towards Margate) looking east.
