Bembridge Windmill

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.

New for 2009: working model of the windmill. Turn the handle to see how all the machinery would have worked.

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