Isle of Wight Villages

We look forward to sharing the Isle of Wight with you once again in the near future, whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to your favourite home from home. In the meantime we ask that you please continue to follow Government guidelines and stay home, keeping happy and healthy, and helping to bring the date we can say “Welcome to the Island” ever closer.

Right now is the time to plan for when you can, to feel inspired and excited by everything there is to look forward to in the months ahead. We stay home now, so that we can all be together under the sun later.  We’ll see you by the sea, when the time is right.

The eastern side of the island is dotted with beautiful coastal villages including Seaview, a popular yachting centre; the small village of Bembridge, best known for its large harbour; and St Helens with its large village green.

Between the towns of Shanklin and Newport sits Godshill, one of the prettiest villages on the Isle of Wight, awash with thatched cottages and a medieval church

The West side of the Isle of Wight contains many characterful villages, awash with history and culture, such as traditional village of Brighstone and the Victorian escape of Freshwater, where poet Laureate Tennyson and acclaimed photographer Julia Margaret Cameron spent much of their time on the Island.
