Welcome to Whippingham

Whippingham is a small village located on the Isle of Wight, an island off the south coast of England. The village is known for its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and peaceful atmosphere. One of the most notable landmarks in Whippingham is the Church of St. Mildred, a stunning Gothic Revival church that was designed by the famous architect, Sir Gilbert Scott. The church is a popular destination for visitors to the island, and it is also a popular venue for weddings and other events.

In addition to the church, Whippingham is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including the former home of Queen Victoria's daughter, Princess Beatrice. The house, which is now known as Osborne House, was built in the 19th century and was used as a summer residence by Queen Victoria and her family. Today, the house is open to the public and visitors can explore the beautiful gardens and grounds, as well as the interior of the house itself.

Overall, Whippingham is a charming and picturesque village that is well worth a visit for anyone who is interested in history, architecture, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the Isle of Wight. With its stunning church, historic buildings, and peaceful countryside, it is a perfect destination for a relaxing day trip or a longer stay on the island.
