Take a tour of the Westmill Wind Farm and Solar Park led by our friendly, knowledgeable guides!
Climate change is a major concern for many. But awareness of the problem is growing. The UK will need a lot more clean, renewable electricity to decarbonise other energy uses like transport and heating. As part of our ambition to help people understand the enormous benefits of renewable energy, we encourage you to visit Westmill to discover how clean, green energy can be created.
During your visit you’ll learn about renewable energy and the eventful history of the site. Plus you’ll hear about the installation and energy generation of our turbines and solar panels, how they work and how they are owned by the local community. And you’ll discover how our Solar Park became one of the largest community-owned solar farms in the world!
These tours offers a unique, intimate and understandable perspective on how a wind farm and solar park works, all led by our team of friendly volunteer guides!
