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

A peaceful place to enjoy a gentle walk, have a snack, learn about the history of the Monastery, view art exhibitions and purchase local produce from the farm shop.

Amazing place to visit whilst on the island. From the little pigs nearby to the Abbey itself to the surround area, just a great place.

The coastal path takes you right along the edge of the expansive Bembridge Harbour. It is a working fishing port as well as a popular place to dock pleasure yachts. On the opposite side of the harbour there is a causeway over the Old Mill Ponds which can be crossed on all by the spring tides and is a unique place to run.

Bembridge Windmill is a grade 1 listed building and dates from 1700. Although it hasn't seen action since 1913, much of its machinery is still in place and a tour round the windmill is well recommended. It is in the care of the National Trust and open during the summer months, usually from April to October.

The Yarborough Monument is a huge memorial to Charles Anderson Pelham. He was the 2nd Earl of Yarborough and said to be very popular among islanders, indeed the obelisk was paid for by public donations. It can be seen for miles around.
