About

The Yarmouth and Freshwater area occupies the western peninsula of the Isle of Wight. The landscape is defined by the tidal River Yar, which separates the two parishes, and a coastline of sheltered estuary, shingle beaches, and tall coloured cliffs. Yarmouth is a historic harbour town with a compact centre dominated by its castle and a pier serving ferry and fishing vessels. Inland, the terrain rises to open heathand and farmland.

Freshwater Bay presents a dramatic coastal aspect with its chalk stacks and accessible beach. The area is dominated by Tennyson Down, a high chalk ridge offering expansive views back across the island and to the mainland. The rural hinterland contains small villages, walking paths, and the freshwater Yar's upper reaches. This geography creates a distinct micro-region of coast, downland, and quiet waterways.
