Things to do in Ventnor

There are lots of things to do in Ventnor and the surrounding area whatever the weather. The beaches and Ventnor promenade offer a lot of options for activities, but further into Ventnor town there are a number of vintage shops and antique stores that has made Ventnor a very popular shopping destination, even appealing to famous celebrities like Kate Moss!

To the East of the town is Bonchurch, which is a stunning village where Charles Dickens once stayed. Stooped in history Bonchurch offers some great walks, and there is also a fanastic secluded beach.

For some ideas of what to see and do in and around Ventnor see the list below.
