| Havenstreet
is a small village surrounded by unspoiled scenery. The village has a pub
- The White Hart (0.5 miles) which is renowned for its excellent meals (you
will need to book), a post office, a church, and surprisingly - a station.
The IOW Steam Railway (0.25
miles), has one of the finest collections of Victorian locomotives and carriages
in the country, and the sight, sound and smell of the trains is all part
of the experience of a holiday at Guildford Farm. The railway connects to
the Island Line, giving access to the sandy beaches of Sandown, Shanklin
and Ryde, which are all within 10-15 minutes drive of the farm. |

Guildford
Farm is an ancient settlement - once the largest farm in the area, now much
smaller. The fields are used for hay making, and provide grazing for sheep
and horses. Here you are well placed for holidays involving walking, cycling
and riding. A public footpath crosses the farm leading south to Mersley
Down - where you will find the local attraction of Robin
Hill Adventure Park, and north to Wootton Creek, home to a variety of
bird life. The heavy horse centre at Brickfields
Equestrian Centre, which offers horse riding, is less than 5 minutes
away by car, and bridleways abound in the area. If your interest is in wildlife,
the Briddlesford woodlands adjoining the farm are a protected site for red
squirrels and dormice. |
