Last year we had an enjoyable walk from Weston to a point overlooking Luffenhall Common.  A photograph was taken from behind the walkers to illustrate the party looking towards Cromer Windmill in the distance.  This walk is an opportunity to visit the windmill and see it in context.

Sadly the area is scheduled to be the site of a large solar "farm" mainly north, but also west of the windmill and the delightful valley will be severely impacted.
