Ventnor
GATEWAY TO THE UNDERCLIFF

Ventnor is the jewel in the crown,
a Victorian seaside town located
on the south coast of the Isle of
Wight enjoying a superb south
easterly aspect with its sandy
bay and newly constructed
harbour. There is easy access
to many miles of coastal walks
to St Lawrence Undercliff, much
of which is designated an area of
outstanding natural beauty.
To the east is Bonchurch, famed
for its literary connections.
Protected from the north by the
National Trust owned St Boniface

Down, Ventnor enjoys its own
warm subtropical microclimate.
Local attractions include Botanical
Gardens,
Cricket
Academy,
Ventnor Park and Steephill Cove.

With a changing mix of new
eateries, sophisticated hotels and
traditional pubs, Ventnor town is
undergoing new developments
catering for all walks of life and
now offers not just a superb
spot to holiday, or retire, but the
opportunity to relocate for a
change of life style.
