Ventnor

England

Ventnor perches dramatically on the Isle of Wight's southern coast, sheltered by St. Boniface Down's chalk cliffs. Reach it via ferry then the A3055 Military Road, or A3020 south from Newport through Godshill. The town cascades down the hillside in terraced layers like a natural amphitheater, with houses stacked in tiers offering sweeping Channel views.
