Winford Cross Isle of Wight Map

About Winford Cross

Winford Cross, a quiet collection of dwellings on the Isle of Wight, feels as though it might have been carefully placed by a thoughtful hand. It lies 3.6 km north-west of Shanklin (from Shanklin: bearing 323°T, OS grid SZ 558 840), and is situated west of Winford village. The air here often carries the faint, sweet scent of ripening apples from the surrounding orchards, a fragrance that seems to cling to the very stones of the older cottages. Fields, divided by ancient hedgerows, stretch outwards, their green hues shifting subtly with the changing light, sometimes a deep emerald, at others a pale, almost ethereal shade under a high summer sky. The lanes that thread through Winford Cross are often bordered by wild roses and hawthorn, their blossoms a delicate counterpoint to the sturdy, weathered timber of farm gates. Even the silence here seems to possess a certain texture, a gentle hum of nature that has long held sway over this corner of the island.
