Caldecotte Arms in Daylight

The windmill is not a real windmill but it is part of the Caldecotte Arms. This tower windmill was built as a dummy mill (by professional millwrights) as a decorative part of a pub/hotel complex. The Caldecotte Arms is located near the Caldecotte Lake within Milton Keynes giving a feeling of the countryside but only a 5 minute drive to the centre of Milton Keynes. A popular part of the Caldecotte Arms is the famous Windmill.

This popular family dining pub was purpose built as a Windmill in 1992, on three levels. The setting has fascinating views of the man made lake.

Caldecotte is a district in the parish of Walton, that includes the site of an ancient village of the same name. It is also includes the larger part of Caldecotte Lake, an important balancing lake that manages flood water on the River Ouzel just as it enters Milton Keynes. The lake is used by a number of local clubs for rowing and other water sports.

The place name is fairly common in England, and is Old English meaning "cold cottage". This refers to a resting place for travellers or other strangers on the road. The original Northampton to London road (modern Brickhill Street) runs nearby, just short of its junction with Watling Street (itself a major route in continuous use since Roman times). The village declined when the Northampton road was rerouted in 1728 through Broughton and Woburn to join the Watling Street at Hockliffe.
