Princelett Isle of Wight Map

About Princelett

Princelett rests lightly upon the Isle of Wight's southern flank, a quiet confluence of fields. It lies 2.7 km north-west of Shanklin (from Shanklin: bearing 310°T, OS grid SZ 559 829), and is situated south-west of Apse Heath village. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of turned soil, a reminder of the agricultural heart that beats beneath its modest homes, and sunlight can fall in broad, benevolent swathes across the rolling terrain. A scattering of cottages, some with walls that seem to have absorbed the very colour of the surrounding chalk downland, forms the core of Princelett. The sense of remoteness is softened by the distant murmur of the sea, a constant, low thrum that reminds one of the island's more expansive horizons. Here, the days unfold with a gentle, almost imperceptible cadence, marked by the changing seasons rather than the hurried ticking of clocks.
