Moortown Isle of Wight Map

About Moortown

Moortown, a quiet hamlet on the Isle of Wight, lies bathed in the soft, diffused light that so often graces the southern coast of England. It lies 9.2 km south-east of Yarmouth (from Yarmouth: bearing 134°T, OS grid SZ 422 833), and is situated north-west of Brighstone village. The landscape surrounding Moortown unfolds with a gentle, undulating character, a patchwork of fields that seem to hold the quiet secrets of centuries of cultivation. A faint scent of salt, carried on the breeze from the nearby Solent, often mingles with the earthy perfume of damp soil and wild hedgerows. The houses, primarily traditional stone cottages, possess a sturdy, unpretentious beauty, their slate roofs softened by moss and the passage of time. There is a profound stillness here, a sense that the world moves at a more considered pace, the skies above often a canvas of subtle greys and blues.
