Ventnor
Ventnor is a seaside resort as well as civil parish developed in the Victorian era on the south-east coastline of the Isle of Wight, England, eleven miles (18 kilometres) from Newport. It is situated south of St Boniface Down, and improved steep slopes leading to the sea. The greater part is described as Upper Ventnor (formally Lowtherville); the reduced part, where most amenities lie, is referred to as Ventnor. Ventnor is in some cases required to include the neighboring and older settlements of St Lawrence and also Bonchurch, which are covered by its town council. The population of the parish in 2016 had to do with 5,800. Ventnor became very fashionable as both a health and also holiday resort in the late 19th century, described as the 'English Mediterranean' as well as 'Mayfair by the Sea'. Medical advancements throughout the very early twentieth century reduced its role as a health spa as well as, like various other British seaside resorts, its summertime vacation trade experienced the transforming nature of travel throughout the latter part of that century. Its reasonably sheltered location beneath the uneven chalk downland generates a microclimate with more sunny days and also fewer frosts than the rest of the island. This allows lots of types of subtropical plant to grow; Ventnor Botanic Garden is especially notable. Ventnor retains a highly Victorian character, has an energetic arts scene, and is reclaiming popularity as an area to see.
