About

Binstead & Fishbourne is a ward on the north coast of the Isle of Wight, situated along the western edge of the River Medina's estuary. The area encompasses the historic village of Binstead, with its Norman church, and the larger settlement of Fishbourne, known for its ferry terminal connecting to Portsmouth. The landscape includes woodland, farmland, and stretches of shoreline along Wootton Creek and the Solent.

The area is defined by its coastal and riparian geography, featuring tidal mudflats and saltmarshes that are significant for birdlife. The main road, the A3054, runs through the ward, linking Ryde to Newport. A notable local feature is the presence of former stone quarries in Binstead, which supplied material for buildings like Winchester Cathedral and leave a distinct mark on the village's character.
