Thorncross Farm sits in the tranquil hamlet of Thorncross, near Brighstone and Shorwell on the Isle of Wight, close to Newport. The site is a small Camping and Caravanning Club certified site, and campers can join the club on-site if needed. A highlight here is the two and a half acre carp, rudd and roach fishing lake, open from April to November. The Isle of Wight Cycle Route passes right by the front door, and the Coastal Footpath and downland trails are within easy reach. Locally you'll find Brighstone village, several traditional pubs, Dinosaur Farm Museum and Brighstone Museum nearby, plus Blackgang Chine Theme Park and Compton Bay beach a little further afield.
