The Westmill Wind Farm and Solar Park is a pioneering community energy hub, located in Oxfordshire near the Wiltshire border. Completed in 2011, Westmill is unique with both wind and solar community-owned electricity generation on one site. In fact, the solar park was the first community-owned of its kind in the UK, and at its inception it was thought to be the UK’s first and the world’s largest co-operatively run, community-owned solar installation.
Here is your chance to come and see how it all works!
Join us on-site at Westmill to discover renewable energy and the positive impact it has on our climate. Hear the eventful history of the Westmill, before learning about the installation and energy generation of our five wind turbines and over twenty-thousand solar panels. Country Living has called Westmill one of the "6 most impressive solar farms around the world" to visit. You will experience at close quarters just how awe-inspiring this technology is.
This tour 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!
