BEMBRIDGE

One of the largest villages in Europe, Bembridge has no less than three churches, five pubs, a number of boatyards, a lifeboat station, a ‘shipwreck museum’ and a commercial airport. Its northern boundary is a natural harbour that has found favour with many sailors and yachtsmen. When the tide drains from the beach visitors can see Bembridge Ledge on which many ships have foundered.

Stone-built Bembridge Windmill, erected in 1700, has been fully restored by the National Trust and is a genuine curiosity. It was originally operated by a man and a boy who worked 15 hours a day producing flour and animal feed. Convict ships bound for Australia would stock up with grain – and the windmill would be the last thing they would ever see of their beloved homeland.
