Built around 1700, Bembridge Windmill is the only surviving windmill on the island and has much of its original machinery intact.

It was last used in 1913 and the stone-built tower with its wooden cap and machinery has been restored and visitors can explore its four floors.

See how the mill once operated with the help of the working model.

The mill also provided breathtaking views across glorious, unspoilt countryside.
