Pan & Barton

Pan & Barton ward is located in the north of the Isle of Wight, near the town of Cowes. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing estates and older properties. It includes the distinct neighbourhoods of Pan and Northwood. The landscape is characterised by gentle slopes and green spaces, with views towards the Solent. Local amenities serve the community's daily needs, with a focus on practical services rather than tourism.

A notable local feature is the presence of the UK's oldest purpose-built bus station, situated within the ward. Transport links are important here, providing connections to Cowes and the wider island. The area has a quiet, settled atmosphere, with a focus on community life. Its proximity to the waterfront and sailing centres of Cowes influences the local character, though it remains a separate residential district.
