About Ventnor

A Victorian town with a Mediterranean feel, Ventnor is one of the sunniest spots on the Island. Built on a series of terraces beneath St. Boniface Down the town's roads zigzag down to the sea past the beautifully planted cascades.


The Seafront

The seafront enjoys a surprisingly mild climate due to sheltering cliffs and southerly aspect. The Western Esplanade has a part sand, part fine shingle beach, good for sunbathing and swimming and adjacent to pubs, cafes, amusements, paddling pool and seafront car park.

The Downs

Located to either side of Alizons, and only a short walk away, are the downs - ventnor down, wroxall down and rew down, all within areas of outstanding natural beauty. The costal footpath from there lead you around the coast of the island, numerous other paths lead you over beautiful countryside to many places of interest.

Bonchurch

The seafront's eastern promenade leads to Bonchurch, the Island's best preserved Victorian village much favoured by prominent Victorian literatti. Charles Dickens wrote part of David Copperfield whilst staying at Bonchurch. Between village and shore is the tiny Old Church of St. Boniface constructed by Benedictine monks around 1070.
