Northwood Isle of Wight Map

About Northwood

Northwood breathes with the quiet industry of island life, a place where lanes curve with a gentle knowing. It lies 2.3 km south-west of East Cowes (from East Cowes: bearing 219°T, OS grid SZ 488 937), and is situated east-south-east of Rew Street village. The very air in Northwood seems to hold a certain luminous quality, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun, lowered towards the horizon, casts long, golden shadows across the fields that embrace its dwellings. The houses themselves, a mix of weathered brick and render, often wear gardens that spill over with a riot of colour, a testament to the dedicated hands that tend them. The sound of distant gulls, carried on the sea breeze, is a constant, soft companion to the quiet hum of domesticity. Though not a bustling centre, Northwood possesses a grounded presence, a feeling of enduring roots.
