The Isle of Wight region
The West Wight has many areas of outstanding natural beauty - rolling countryside, peaceful forests, picturesque villages and breathtaking coastal scenery, such as the rugged white cliffs of Freshwater Bay, the multi-coloured sandstone cliffs of Alum Bay and of course, the famous landmark Needles rocks. The west coast has many beautiful beaches and most are accessible by road or from a coastal path. The Yar estuary attracts walkers and bird watchers and there is a cycle way to Yarmouth, along the route of the former railway line. There are some interesting shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs in the bustling nautical town of Yarmouth it is approximately two miles away. The Island's main town of Newport is approximately ten miles by road, providing large shops and multiplex cinema.
Freshwater area
Victorian Freshwater has the air of a town but in fact holds the status of a village. An 18 hole golf course is superbly situated on the downs above Freshwater Bay and a smaller golf course based at the Farringford - 4 minute walk from cottage. There are also a nice assortment of shops to keep you busy, and West Wight Sports Centre, which has a indoor swimming pool and a new outside astro football / basketball pitch ( this amenity is free and floodlit in the evening. The Farringford in Freshwater was once the home of poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson and nearby is the Island's only thatched church, St Agnes, built on land donated by the Tennyson family in 1908. Pioneer Victorian photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, lived at Dimbola Lodge at Freshwater Bay, which is now a photographic museum. Also to enjoy are Cliff top walks, such as the Tennyson Trail to the Needles, with breathtaking views of the Channel and Solent and inland from the bay is Afton Marsh Nature Trail. At Alum Bay , the Needles Park has a chairlift to the beach, from which you can see the famous coloured sands or take a boat trip to view the Needles rocks and lighthouse. Families enjoy the delightful small beach at Totland Bay and the golden sands of Colwell Bay, which offers beach huts and water sports. Compton Bay is very popular with windsurfers.
