Seaview, Isle of Wight

Seaview is a small Edwardian resort located on the north-eastern corner of the Isle of Wight, overlooking the Solent.

On the seafront lies the Old Fort pub, a drinking spot popular with both residents and summer visitors.

In 1870, Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe, had a French Renaissance style house, Woodlands Vale, built by Samuel Sanders Teulon.

This leads to a seasonal variation in the activity in the village - with many second-home owners visiting only in the summer months or holiday periods.

[4] No Man's Land Fort, formerly part of the coast defences and now a luxury residence, is visible in the Solent one mile from Seaview.

Public transport is available on Southern Vectis bus route 8, which operates between Ryde, Bembridge, Sandown and Newport.

However, it was severely damaged in a storm in late December 1951 (only leaving around 100 ft of promenade intact), and was later demolished in 1952.
