Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

It is said that you can experience all of lowland England in miniature on the Isle of Wight. The impact of the sea, the quality of the light, the temperate climate and the variety of cultural influences give our AONB its own strong 'sense of place'.

Covering almost half of the Isle of Wight, the area is part of a national family of designated landscapes treasured for their special qualites. The complex and diverse character of our AONB and the opportunities it provides for quiet enjoyment, peace and relaxation are equally valued today as they were over forty years ago when the area was first designated.

Explore the AONB website for information and news about the area; why it is so important; and the work of the Isle of Wight AONB Partnership to conserve and enhance the Island's Finest Landscapes for future generations.
