Here Burlesdon windmill is reflected in the newly restored pond which is a haven for wildlife. Bursledon Windmill was built in 1814, replacing an earlier tower mill which was built in 1766. The machinery of the earlier mill was incorporated into the new mill.The mill remained in use until 1880s after which it fell into disuse and decay. Between 1978 and 1991, the mill was restored by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust, and the mill opened to the public in May 1991.
