DescriptionRestored five-storey drainage windpump that has striking views across Horsey Mere, one of the Norfolk Broads.

Horsey Windpump is a windpump or drainage windmill in the care of the National Trust in the village of Horsey, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.

The windpump was working until it was struck by lightning in 1943. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1948 from the Buxton Family and has been restored. The Buxton family continue to manage the estate, emphasising nature conservation. The estate has become an internationally important wildlife site. There are waymarked circular walks, views across Horsey Mere and access to the beach at Horsey Gap.

Horsey Windpump is open daily from March to October.
