Gardens & Parks

The Isle of Wight is more than just its coastline; it’s also dotted with beautiful gardens and parks as well as country walkways to discover and explore.

With much of the Island designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you will fall in love with the Island all over again.

Visit one of the many wooded areas, such as Parkhurst Forest and look out for red squirrels. Go bird spotting at one of the bird hides at Newtown Creek, will you spot the illustrious white-taled sea eagle? Or enjoy live music, a round of pitch and putt and a picnic at Ventnor Park.

Pay a visit to Ventnor Botanic Garden, and due to it being located in the shelter of the undercliff, it benefits from a unique microclimate, meaning plants grow outside here which can’t elsewhere in the UK. For example, the Puya.
