Bonchurch Discovery Walk
Join one of Sue's sell out walks and discover the hidden histories of Bonchurch.
Bonchurch was 'the place' before Ventnor was developed.
​This all changed in only a few years when the tiny village population boomed and
'cottage orné' villas attracted artists, musicians, actors, poets and writers.
"Lots of information and none of it we knew! Great to take in a sea stop and take in the sea air. We loved it."
"Dear Sue, we had a wonderful day, thank you! You really brought the past to life!”
"Thank you SO much for an absolutely wonderful afternoon. We loved it. I thought I knew Bonchurch … not so!
