Newtown Old Town Hall
Recommended by
Overview
The small, now tranquil, village of Newtown once sent two members to parliament and the Town Hall was the setting for often turbulent elections. This historic building contains exhibits on local history including the exploits of 'Ferguson's Gang', a mysterious group of anonymous benefactors. There are splendid views across unspoilt countryside to the town and footpaths leading to the nearby estuary. Regular art and photographic exhibitions.

About the area
Small and intimate – at just 23 miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Wight is a popular holiday destination; with its mild climate, long hours of sunshine and colourful architecture, it has something of a continental flavour. Visitors can walk along the island’s varied coastline using the well-established Coast Path or step back in time to explore the island’s history at some of the forts and castles.
