‘Dino Islands’ takes players on a prehistoric adventure into a land of dinosaurs with waterfalls, smoking volcanoes and animatronic dinosaurs. 

Idea:  We hope to build a new Men’s Shed to benefit the community in the parish of Nettlestone & Seaview on the Isle of Wight.

We are a small village pub offering good traditional pub food, a wide selection of wines,beers,ales, spirits, soft drinks & hot drinks all set in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

We are an independent family business with a mission to bring you top quality simple food at a great value price.

A Victorian fort gradually being restored and dramatic chalk cliffs, open downland and coastal views. Resembling from the distance a grassy mound, Bembridge Fort on the Isle of Wight has long been a subject of interest to both local people and holidaymakers. Now thanks to the support of two groups of volunteers you are able to see inside this Victorian fort and to discover its history.

Dramatic views from the highest point on the Island. It’ll take more than one visit to admire Adonis blue butterflies on Bonchurch Down, witness the wonderful show of bluebells or the blooming heather of Luccombe Down, spot our herd of feral goats or look up for buzzards and ravens soaring over the steep slopes, but you can always try!

A wild rocky coast with jutting cliffs, a windswept down and sheltered wooded valley. Built in the 14th century, high on a hill overlooking Chale Bay on the Isle of Wight, St Catherine’s Oratory is the stuff of colourful legend involving the Lord of the Manor. Known locally as the ‘Pepperpot’, we look after all that remains of the Oratory in partnership with English Heritage.

St Helens Duver is a lovely place to relax or gently wander. There are sandy beaches, rock pools, sand dunes and coastal woods all within a small area. There is easy access from the car park onto the Duver with its short turf and gently undulating ground and views over Bembridge Harbour. The beach is also very close at hand and although it can get quite busy in the summer there’s space for everyone if you wander further along the shore. The Duver has an interesting history as a Victorian golf course with royal patronage. But now it is a fascinating place to look for wildlife from burrowing digger wasps to wasp spiders, and tiny flowers or water birds over the harbour.

The National Poo Museum was created by Daniel Roberts, Nigel George and Dave Badman from the Eccleston George collective of artists and social entrepreneurs on the Isle of Wight. We launched with “Poo at the Zoo” at Sandown, Isle of Wight on March 25 2016. It was a joint event with Isle of Wight Zoo. This exhibition was open to zoo visitors over the spring and summer 2016. We found a beautiful new site for a permanent exhibition in Sandown, Isle of Wight. It will be open in April 2018.

Anglican Church St John the Baptist, Oakfield with Holy Trinity, Ryde is an Anglican church with an open, friendly atmosphere where all are welcome.
