Span Farm is situated on the outskirts of the quiet village of Wroxall, approximately 3 miles north of the seaside town of Ventnor. Span Farm House is able to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests and is the largest of four properties available at the farm.
The area is a firm favourite with cyclists, walkers and ramblers due to its close proximity to the southern tip of the island, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with an ever-changing coastal landscape boasting breath-taking panoramic views and a wealth of wildlife. The location offers easy access to many miles of foot and bridle paths over the lovely countryside that surrounds the village.
The popular seaside resort of Ventnor is just a short drive away offering a number of lovely seaside tea shops, pubs and restaurants dotted along the Esplanade. There are also some quirky and bespoke shops, a park and a children’s paddling pool. The town, which for the most part is built on the steep hill leading to the beach, retains its original seaside charm and makes a great day out for all the family. Just down the road from the properties is the popular Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, which is open all year round, weather permitting.
Further afield, local points of interest include St Catherine’s Lighthouse, where you can explore the area where Marconi made some of his early experiments in radio, St Catherines Oratory, a medieval lighthouse on top of St Catherine’s Down, and Castle Cove, where there is a little open-air beach café . Outdoor pursuits on the island are well catered for and include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, water sports and golf. There are numerous attractions to discover for all ages. Pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and Gardens, Blackgang Chine, the oldest themed attraction in the UK, the famous Needles, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park, Carisbrooke Castle or the sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes. There is plenty to discover and keep you entertained.
