Location description
The Isle of Wight covers an area of 380 km2. A large part, much of which is on the West of the Island where our apartment is situated, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Island boasts 57 miles of varied coastline and 258 km2 of farmland.
The Isle of Wight has 17 award winning beaches. Several of these are within a short distance from the flat for instance Colwell Bay (which has a Blue Flag Award and with it's fine firm yellow sand and gently shelving beach it is ideal for young children and families), Compton, Brook and Totland. The picturesque harbour village of Yarmouth is 3 miles away by car or is a pleasant walk partially along the Yar Estuary. There are many country and downland walks from the doorstep. One of these walks is the Tennyson trail, part of which you can pick up from a footpath near the apartment. This walk takes you via the Tennyson monument to the Needles and the Needles Old Battery owned by the National Trust. The county town of Newport is 12 miles away with its excellent variety of shops and supermarkets. However for every day needs there is a traditional, well stocked village shop just 5 minutes walk away.
Bayclose is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB) and is also in a Conservation Area as is most of Freshwater Bay. Locally, Yarmouth and Freshwater have a good variety of local shops and cafes as well as a Co-op, a Sainsbury's Express and a leisure centre. Just down the lane from the apartment is Dimbola Lodge - Dimbola was the home of the celebrated Victorian Photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron. Now it is a museum dedicated to her life and work. It also has a tearoom and bookshop and the picturesque thatched church of St. Agnes is 100 yards up the road. There are also a number of pubs and hotels in the vicinity.
There are many places to eat and drink locally, to suit all budgets. Here are a selection of just a few of them! -
Dimbola Lodge Cafe - just beyond the drive entrance from our apartment.
The Daffodil Cafe - 5 minutes walk from our apartment down at Freshwater Bay.
The Blue Crab - in Yarmouth.
Off the Rails (the Old Station) - in Yarmouth.
The Hut at Colwell Bay - it is right down on the Promenade - they get their fish straight from the local fishermen.

The Kings Head - in Yarmouth.
