Appuldurcombe Gardens Holiday Park
Holiday Park in Wroxall
Appuldurcombe Gardens is a touring and camping park set in the grounds of the Appuldurcombe House estate near Wroxall, in the south of the island. The setting is attractive, with the ruins of the 18th-century Palladian mansion visible from parts of the site. The park offers touring pitches with electric hookups, tent camping, and a small number of glamping pods.
Facilities include a heated outdoor pool, a well-stocked shop, clean shower blocks, a launderette, and a children's play area. The park is set in landscaped gardens with mature trees, giving it a more refined feel than some of the larger holiday parks. The Donkey Sanctuary is adjacent, and the owl and falconry centre is on the estate.
Ventnor and its Esplanade are a short drive south, and the Worsley Trail walking route passes nearby, linking St Boniface Down to the heart of the island. The park is well positioned for exploring both the south coast beaches and the inland downland. It appeals to couples and families who want good facilities without the full-scale entertainment programme of the larger parks.
