    Hiking

    Bembridge Windmill is one of the most iconic landmarks on the Isle of Wight. Built in 1700, the Grade I-listed structure was last operated in 1913 but retains most of its original machinery. You can climb to the top of the windmill and then descend its four floors to learn how it worked. The mill is managed by the National Trust. Entry costs £6 for adults, £3 for children, and £15 for families. For more information, visit: nationaltrust.org.uk/bembridge-windmill.

    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.
