Ventnor is a seaside resort and also civil parish developed in the Victorian age 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 built on high inclines leading down to the sea. The greater part is described as Upper Ventnor (formally Lowtherville); the reduced part, where most amenities are located, is known as Ventnor. Ventnor is in some cases required to include the neighboring and also older settlements of St Lawrence and also Bonchurch, which are covered by its town council. The population of the parish in 2016 was about 5,800. Ventnor came to be exceptionally stylish as both a health and wellness and also holiday resort in the late 19th century, described as the 'English Mediterranean' as well as 'Mayfair by the Sea'. Clinical advancements throughout the early twentieth century decreased its duty as a health resort and, like various other British seaside resorts, its summertime holiday profession suffered the altering nature of travel throughout the latter part of that century. Its relatively sheltered area below the uneven chalk downland generates a microclimate with even more warm days and less frosts than the remainder of the island. This permits several types of subtropical plant to thrive; Ventnor Botanic Garden is specifically remarkable. Ventnor preserves a highly Victorian personality, has an energetic arts scene, as well as is reclaiming appeal as a location to visit.
