School Green Road, Freshwater

Street guide, Isle of Wight

A road in the heart of Freshwater village, running past the village green, the primary school and the parish church of All Saints. School Green Road is one of the defining streets of Freshwater, connecting the residential areas to the village centre and the roads leading to Freshwater Bay and Totland. The road has a rural, village character, with hedgerows, gardens and a mixture of older cottages and more modern housing. All Saints Church, where Tennyson worshipped, stands nearby, and the village green provides an open space at the heart of the community. The road is quiet, seeing mainly local traffic, and it captures the character of the rural western end of the island.
