Southlands is a beautiful, well-kept site with a choice of pitches to suit all tastes. Much of the site is grassed, and neat hedges create enclaves for smaller groups of vans. There is also a more open area with hard-standing pitches. At one end of the site, a gateway provides a short-cut to the village of Newchurch which is home to the famous Isle of Wight Garlic Farm. The Sandown to Newport cycle path also runs through the village offering miles of traffic free routes. The Pointer Inn in the village is one of the best on the island and has a fantastic garden area at the back (which in turn, leads into a nature reserve). The menu at the Pointer will satisfy any foody and with the pub's barter system, you might even find yourself rubbing shoulders at the bar with the local who grew the veg.
