Shorwell

Shorwell (pronounced Shorrel by some locals and Islanders) is a village and civil parish[2] on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.

[4] Northcourt Manor's grounds contain a spring, the Shor Well, which feeds a stream, one of the tributaries of the Buddle Brook.

There is a pub called the Crown Inn, featuring a pond stocked with brown trout.

Shorwell's terrain is hilly, and backs onto the chalk downs leading to Chale Bay and Compton Bay; several public footpaths crisscross this region, linking the village up to walking routes nearer the sea.

[citation needed] It is linked to other parts of the Island by Southern Vectis bus route 12, serving Freshwater, Totland and Newport as well as intermediate villages.
