Plenty of ducks and swans here in this lake as well.

Upminster Windmill was built in 1803 by James Nokes, and today is a Grade II listed building. It is a smock mill.

Recently, it's had some lovely restoration work done (hence the fencing around the bottom of the mill). Find out more at the Friends of Upminster Windmill site:
