About

Mountjoy & Shide is a primarily residential area located just north of Newport, the island's county town. The ward encompasses suburban housing estates and the grounds of the former Pan estate. Its landscape is characterised by the valley of the Lukely Brook, which flows through the area towards the River Medina. The presence of this watercourse and its green corridor shapes much of the local geography, providing a natural boundary and open spaces within the urban setting.

A notable local landmark is the Shide Chalk Pit, a former quarry now designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its geological exposures. The area is also home to the Isle of Wight Crematorium and Cemetery. While largely quiet, it benefits from proximity to Newport's retail and transport links, including the nearby train station at Shide. The main road network passes through, connecting it to other parts of the central island.
