About

In Victorian times Ventnor became a fashionable holiday and health resort not least because Sir James Clark, Queen Victoria's surgeon recommended the health-giving properties of Ventnor's climate. According to Clark; "Nothing along the south coast will bear comparison with it".

The Ventnor Hotel was re-named The Royal Hotel after Queen Victoria visited and endorsed it for afternoon tea in 1855. You can still enjoy afternoon tea at the Royal Hotel today.

This location forms part of the Victoria’s Island Trail. Discover more of Queen Victoria’s beloved Isle of Wight by visiting other locations on the trail. For more information go to www.visitisleofwight.co.uk/victoriasisland
