Ventnor
It’s been compared to Notting Hill, Charles Dickens (no less) described it as “The prettiest place I ever saw in my life, at home or abroad" and it is now home to a quirky home-grown arts festival.
And it’s not just Dickens who loved Ventnor - Karl Marx, Sir Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi were among icons of the past to take the town’s air
Dickens regularly swapped city smog for the fresh sea air of the Island, calling Bonchurch “the prettiest place I ever saw in my life” while staying here in 1849 to work on David Copperfield.
