About Plaish

Plaish remains a modest collection of dwellings held fast by the chalky contours of the Isle of Wight. It lies 2.0 miles south-west of Newport (from Newport: bearing 234°T, OS grid SZ 473 872). The landscape here is defined by a quiet, insistent permanence, with the slopes of Middle Down rising to the north to catch the first pale light of dawn. Because Plaish exists within the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the surrounding fields possess a pastoral clarity that seems untouched by the frantic pace of the modern century. To the east, the ghost of the Roman occupation lingers at the Clatterford Roman Villa, where the earth still guards the foundations of a sophisticated past. The proximity of such ancient sites lends a gravity to the local air, suggesting that the inhabitants of Plaish have long walked over the remnants of those who occupied this same soil. Even the neighbouring hills, marked by the ancient barrows on Bowcombe Down, seem to watch over the hamlet with an indifferent, stony patience. Such surroundings grant Plaish a singular character, where the wind carries the scent of damp chalk and the silence of the surrounding ridges.
