The Bees - Secret Ventnor (Isle of Wight)

Mercury Award nominated band and awesome DJ team, The Bees, on the best of Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight.

Ventnor Heritage Museum
11 Spring Hill, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, PO38 1PE
www.ventnorheritage.org.uk

The perfect place to get to know the history that has made Ventnor the wonder that it is today. Read stories and see pictures from the time that Emperor Haile Selassie I came ashore to visit Queen Victoria on our little beach. He liked it so much that he claimed this part of the island's coast as a part of Africa!

The Botanical Gardens
Undercliff Drive, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, PO38
www.botanic.co.uk

Truly wondrous gardens to walk around and chill in. They are famed for their subtropical microclimate. If you're really lucky you might find a squirting cucumber.

Ocean View Chip Shop
1 Newport Rd, Upper Ventnor, Isle of Wight, PO38 1AE

Great fish and chips that come served in a box, which is really handy because you can take them straight up on the downs at St. Boniface and spy on the rest of the island.

The Ventnorian

A brilliant little store selling all sorts of paraphernalia and wares for the good people of Ventnor.

The Landslip

This is a mystical ever changing wood stretching along the cliffs and shore line between Ventnor and the neighbouring town of Shanklin. It has loads of undiscovered places to explore; it’s the ultimate healing, feeling walk. Enjoy!
