Isle of Wight Villages

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.
