Freshwater is a large village in the West Wight with a spectacular bay and views over the west coast of the island. Famous for its geology and coastal rock formations, such as the well-known landmarks of ‘Stag’ and ‘Mermaid’ rocks, its beach is mostly pebbled but is also covered in chalk from the surrounding cliffs. The village benefits from many established stores, a supermarket, an Edwardian picturesque church and its location, ideal for outdoor activities. Just a short distance from The Gate are miles of footpaths and bridleways, passing through ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, perfect for tranquil walks, horse riding and mountain biking which stretch across the west wight. Picturesque footpaths lead to Tennyson Down and to Alum Bay, home of the world-famous Needles, and towards Brook and Newport along the Tennyson Trail, in the opposite direction. Freshwater Bay and nearby Compton Bay provide the ideal conditions for water-based activities such as surfing, swimming, parascending, coasteering and kayaking. The popular Dimbola Lodge, former home to a well-known Victorian photographer, offers a fantastic gallery and museum just a short walk from the property.
