About Yarmouth - Yarmouth is an Ancient & Medieval town, with a church, post office, castle, yacht club, sailing club, and numerous pubs, restaurants and independent coffee houses, and local independent village shops, including antique shops, luxury men’s shop, a chandlery, various art galleries and interior design shops, a 5-star luxury hotel, several guest-houses, a chemist and a dentist.

Yarmouth is a sought-after and historic harbour town with excellent sailing and water sport facilities. It is surrounded on three sides by un-developable land or sea. Yarmouth is protected by town council rules prohibiting “chain” businesses to operate in and around Yarmouth, making Yarmouth a very traditional village, protected from over-development.

Yarmouth is a small, but wealthy, town benefitting from trade generated from the surrounding area including Totland, Freshwater, Brook, Shalfleet, Brightstone, Mottistone, Calbourne as well as the entire South Coast of England. Yarmouth is considered an affluent area attracting thousands of visitors annually due to its beautiful and protected location and famous yachting centre (the harbour has doubled in size in recent years).

Yarmouth also provides a convenient getaway to the island for visitors from the mainland via the car and passenger ferry link with Lymington. Further, the town is a short distance from the footpaths leading to the Yar Estuary and miles of countryside and downs as part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The town itself has an immediate population of approx. 2,500.
