Bonchurch

The village of Bonchurch nestles between Shanklin and Ventnor and is truly worth a visit to appreciate the quaint cottages, large imposing Victorian Mansions and the village pond.

Built on the side of St.Boniface down, leading down to the sea, Bonchurch will remind you of the sort of holiday of yester year. The seafront has a safe shingle and sand beach, surrounded by rocks,  there are several cafes, which look out to sea and serve a variety of local seafood specialities. From the shore you can take the level walk along the revetment towards Ventnor. Here you will pass tiny fisherman's cottages, Wheelers Bay and end up at Ventnor harbour.

A feature of the village is the pond. This large pond is stocked with huge carp, which rise from the deep when visitors throw them bread. There are also ducks and beautiful trees and shrubs and it's pleasant to while away an hour just taking in the scenery.

The Isle of Wight is a magnificent Island separated from mainland England by as little as 3 miles of water and is accessible only by Ferry. The Island has retained its unique charm enchanting 2.7 million visitors each year. From the top of the Downs you can see across the whole island to  mainland England.
