Blackwater Isle of Wight Map

About Blackwater

Blackwater breathes a quiet English air, a place where lanes curve with the patience of ancient hedgerows. It lies 2.8 km south of Newport (from Newport: bearing 169°T, OS grid SZ 505 864), and is situated north of Rookley village. The soil here, rich and dark, has long yielded its bounty, a subtle testament to generations of agricultural endeavour. A gentle slope defines the land around Blackwater, allowing the sun, when it deigns to appear, to cast long, honeyed shadows across the fields. The houses, solid and unpretentious, seem to absorb the very light, their stone and brickwork glowing with a muted warmth. Even the sky above Blackwater often holds a particular, pearly quality, as if the sea air, carried inland, has softened its edges.
