VENTNOR ON THE SOUTH COAST OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT



Ventnor is a charming Victorian coastal town at the south of the Isle of Wight
protected by St. Boniface Down – the highest point on the island. This creates a
micro-climate which encourages lush vegetation and varied wildlife and some of
the UK’s sunniest summers and mildest winters.

The western esplanade has a part sand, part fine shingle beach, good for
sunbathing and swimming with nearby pubs, cafés, amusements and paddling pool.
The eastern promenade leads to Bonchurch, the Island’s best preserved Victorian
village much favoured by prominent Victorian literati. Charles Dickens wrote
part of David Copperfield whilst staying at Bonchurch which he described as “The
prettiest place I ever saw in my life, at home or abroad”.

In Victorian times Ventnor became a fashionable holiday and health resort. Sir
James Clark, Queen Victoria’s doctor, endorsed the health-giving properties of
Ventnor’s climate.“Nothing along the south coast will bear comparison with it”
he enthused. The town is currently reinventing itself as a stylish destination
with new residential development, luxury hotels, wine bars, a piano bar and a
new harbour. It was recently listed as the 7th best coastal town in Britain in
Coast magazine, and was described by BBC Radio Solent as the new Notting Hill.
