Mini explorers will enjoy investigating the nearby ancient woodland, sheltered valleys and downs whilst parents can look forward to exploring the selection of find pubs and restaurants which scatter the area.

The pretty seaside resort of Ventnor is just 3 miles south and well worth a visit due to its sandy beaches, mild climate and wonderful botanic gardens.
