Wootton Bridge is a large village, civil parish and electoral ward with about 3,000 residents on the Isle of Wight, first recorded around the year 1086.

Wootton is found midway between the towns of Ryde and Newport, which are 7 miles apart, and historically centred on the old parish church of St Edmund.

At one time there was a second sluice gate in the bridge that would use the tidal water from the millpond to power a mill grinding flour.

[9] Firestone Copse is a Forestry Commission woodland open to the public which is situated on the edge of the pond.

[12] In an area of woodland adjacent to agricultural land and public footpaths just outside the village of Wooton, an ice house can be found in excellent condition, having been maintained by the council since the 1980s.

[13] Southern Vectis bus routes 4, 9 and 34 link Wootton with the towns of Newport, Ryde and East Cowes, including intermediate villages.
