These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is required for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Unfortunately, they are often only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most of the old mills have been abandoned over time.

Nowadays, only a few of them are still in operation in their original function, but are often just technical-historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones inside were moved using the power of the wind as the driving force, for example to grind grain into flour (so-called grain mills) or to press oil from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed.

The Grade II listed Yarborough monument was erected in 1849 by public subscription in memory of Charles Anderson Pelham, 2nd Earl of Yarborough. After his sudden death in 1846, the committee of the Squadron proposed a ‘Nautical Monument’ or ‘Sea Mark’ in his memory and contributed £200 towards the cost – the Yarborough Monument was the result. This was originally been erected further to the west on top of the Bembridge Down but was moved to its current position in 1867 to make way for the Bembridge Down Fort There's a cafe across the road with seating - hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks plus The Culver Haven Inn

On Forelands Beach you can find the most easterly point of the Isle of Wight. It is a stony beach and at low tide 'The Ledge', a rocky balcony appears.

Between Bembridge Point and Foreland a path runs along the beach with great views to St Helen's Fort, out at sea and to the east the Lifeboat Station. Do check the tide times before you set out and walk along here at low tide. At high tide much of the beach is covered by the sea.
