Welcome to Little Atherfield

Little Atherfield is a small village located on the south-west coast of the Isle of Wight. It is a peaceful and picturesque place, surrounded by rolling hills and fields. The village is home to a handful of houses and farms, as well as a small church and a pub. The pub, called The White Horse, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving up traditional pub fare and local ales.

One of the main attractions of Little Atherfield is its proximity to the coast. The village is just a short walk from the beach, which is a beautiful stretch of sand and shingle. The beach is popular with walkers and birdwatchers, as well as those looking to swim or sunbathe. There are also plenty of rock pools to explore, making it a great spot for families with children.

Despite its small size, Little Atherfield has a rich history. The village is believed to have been settled since prehistoric times, and there are several ancient burial mounds in the surrounding area. In more recent times, the village was a hub for smuggling in the 18th and 19th centuries, and there are still tales of hidden tunnels and secret passages in some of the old buildings. Today, Little Atherfield is a peaceful and charming place, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
