Ventnor is a seaside resort and also civil parish established in the Victorian age on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight, England, eleven miles (18 km) from Newport. It is situated southern of St Boniface Down, and improved high slopes leading down to the sea. The higher component is referred to as Upper Ventnor (officially Lowtherville); the reduced component, where most services are located, is called Ventnor. Ventnor is in some cases taken to include the nearby and older settlements of St Lawrence and Bonchurch, which are covered by its town council. The population of the parish in 2016 had to do with 5,800. Ventnor came to be extremely fashionable as both a wellness and also holiday resort in the late 19th century, called the 'English Mediterranean' as well as 'Mayfair by the Sea'. Clinical breakthroughs during the very early the twentieth century reduced its role as a health resort and also, like various other British seaside resorts, its summer season holiday trade experienced the changing nature of traveling during the last part of that century. Its reasonably protected place under the sloping chalk downland creates a microclimate with more warm days and also fewer frosts than the rest of the island. This permits numerous varieties of subtropical plant to prosper; Ventnor Botanic Garden is especially notable. Ventnor keeps a strongly Victorian personality, has an active arts scene, as well as is restoring popularity as an area to go to.
