Niton is a small village almost on the south coast of the Isle of Wight.
The village is made up of stone built houses and walls, thatched roofs and ancient farmsteads. There is a Victorian influence in the village but it is relatively light compared with neighbouring St Lawrence. In the very centre the road is one-way. The Village on the inland side is surrounded by rural farming land and as soon as you leave the confines of the village heading out on the A3055 towards Blackgang you get a feeling the 'roof has been lifted off' as you reach the top of the first hill and are presented with the magnificent vista of West Wight and all its openness.
