1 Island Brew
1 Guest
Large, renovated and highly popular family pub restaurant, whose menu includes vegetarian dishes. Although 75% of the trade is food oriented, you can still get a good pint, including at least one ale from the Island brewers. There is a good children's play area and a huge, well-landscaped millpond with plenty of ducks

KEY

Carisbrooke

One-time capital of the Island, until its 'new port', Newport, eventually made Carisbrooke, into little more than a suburb. It is, however, still an identifiable and attractive village. Turn down Castle Street opposite the church to find the old part of the village with its ancient fords fed by the eponymous brook. The castle, a well-preserved Norman ruin, dominates the surrounding area. Charles I was incarcerated here, and there is a unique, donkey-operated well.
