Location - Mottistone is one of the Isle of Wight’s most enchanting rural villages, tucked along the south-western coastline between Brighstone and Freshwater. At its heart lies the historic Mottistone Manor, beautifully maintained by the National Trust and framed by renowned formal gardens that draw visitors throughout the year. The village itself is a charming cluster of characterful homes arranged around the church and green, many of which, together with the surrounding downland, woodland and rolling countryside, are also under the stewardship of the National Trust.

This unique level of protection has preserved Mottistone’s timeless atmosphere, ensuring a peaceful, unspoilt landscape where wildlife thrives and footpaths weave through some of the Island’s most dramatic scenery. From sweeping chalk downs to hidden valleys and far-reaching coastal views, the area offers an exceptional setting for walking, riding and outdoor exploration.
