Ventnor sits on the south coast of the Isle of Wight and is somewhat different to the neighbouring towns nearby. The town is backed by woodlands and there are roads that zig zag down the slopes from the hills above giving a mediterranean feel. The southerly facing nature and the hills protect the town from harsh northerly winds giving it a micro climate that allows plants here to flourish. That all comes together to create a pretty stunning backdrop if you come to visit Ventnor!

The town has Botanic Gardens that you can visit that take advantage of the micro climate. There is a beach with a promenade along the seafront that is sand and shingle, busy in the summer with plenty of parking nearby and a small harbour to the side of the beach. The village of Bonchurch is walkable from Ventnor, considered by some to be the best preserved village on the Isle of Wight and has a great beach which reveals a large area of sand as the tide goes out and is well worth a visit.
