Bembridge

Bembridge Windmill

The last remaining windmill on the Island can be found just outside Bembridge. The windmill, which dates from 1700 has undergone extensive restoration and is managed by the National Trust. The windmill contains a complete set of wooden machinery and gearing, much of which is original. The RNLI Station at Lane End operates both offshore and inshore lifeboats. The station is usually open to the public for free guided tours during the summer months.

The Bembridge Trail takes the walker on a fifteen mile walk from Newport to Bembridge Windmill through the southern part of the Chalk Downs. A five mile coastal walk from Bembridge to Sandown via Bembridge Down and Culver Cliffs allows walkers to enjoy some of the finest views on the Island.
