America Woods

Unusually for the Isle of Wight, most of this woodland is high oak forest with downy birch

Its a great place in the Spring to see the stunning display of bluebells, that blanket the woodland floor

The storms of 1987 and 1990 have created open sections gradually reverting to woodland.

Numerous badger setts have been reported and red squirrels occasionally spotted

Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The Isle of Wight has a rich variety of distinctive landscapes which is often described as lowland England in miniature. Take time to explore the wild and varied terrain it has to offer

The Island’s landscape and coastline offer fantastic experiences of dramatic cliffs, long and hidden beaches, quiet estuaries which are a haven for wildlife, gently rolling patchwork fields with secret woodlands, open chalk downs and stunning views across the Island’s countryside and coast

In 1963 half the Isle of Wight was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

This was undertaken to ensure that one of England’s finest landscapes is conserved and enhanced for future generations to enjoy
