About

Ventnor & St Lawrence ward occupies the southern coast of the Isle of Wight, characterised by steep, verdant chalk downland that descends sharply to the English Channel. The area's unique microclimate, often noted as the warmest in Britain, supports subtropical plants not typically found at this latitude. This geography shapes the compact, terraced town of Ventnor, built into the hillside, and the quieter village of St Lawrence to the west.

The coastline here is dramatic, with cliffs and sheltered coves like Steephill Cove, accessible only on foot. The former Ventnor Botanic Garden site, now managed by the local council, thrives in the sheltered undercliff area. The ward's infrastructure, including the esplanade and historic pier, is directly influenced by its challenging terrain, with roads winding down to the sea from the uplands.
