Houghton Mill

Highlight • Historical Site

This is the last remaining working watermill on the River Great Ouse. A mill has been here for nearly 1,000 years and is currently cared for by the National Trust. You have to be a member or pay to look around the building but it is well worth it as the hosts are very knowledgeable and helpful. The car park is £2.50 a day for non-members. 2025 - There is now a time limit for parking for members and I dont know what the situation/charges are for non members. I park in Godmanchester in the stree for free now and walk the circular walk via the mill.

Houghton Meadows Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Made up of five fields, Houghton Meadows Nature Reserve is a gorgeous place for a stroll. Spring and summer are the best times to wander along the ancient hay meadows and pasture fields, when yellow cowslips, the pink spears of orchids and the purple of knapweed are at their most vivid. The distinctive hairy dragonfly is a common sight here too.
