  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

  • Chillers News Winter 19
    E The Island Tea & Coffee Co. Freshly roasted coffee on the Isle of Wight. How quickly the end of the year seems to be coming round… must be my age! It really doesn’t seem to be five minutes since we were shivering in the grip of the Beast from the East, and a mere handful of seconds since the intense and prolonged summer heat-wave had us all wilting, and here we are again, with some light frosts to remind us of the time of year! I know I say this every year, but Christmas isn’t a time of joy for everybody, and so please spare a thought and a kind word for those people for whom simply getting through the festivities may be difficult. And maybe pop a small treat in the Foodbank (or RSPCA) boxes at the supermarket next time you are there? Christmas is a time of giving but not all ‘gifts’ are wrapped in brightly coloured paper and ribbons. And speaking of paper and ribbon, we’ll all be recycling like mad in the next few weeks. There’s always confusion about cards and wrapping paper, but it seems the general rule is if a card has glitter and/or plastic on it, it is NOT recyclable. As for paper, when you scrunch it, if it ‘springs back’ then it is NOT recyclable. That's just about all from me for 2018 - it just remains for me to wish you all a peaceful Christmas and New Year! See you all in 2019! (Jill Webster.
