New Meeting : Find out more!!

Welcome to the website for Whippingham on the Isle of Wight. We are in the process of a major re-build of information, but rather than wait for all the elements of the site to be completed, we have decided to begin to put material online. We have quite a large number of pictures and these will be introduced in the near future, so we apologise in advance for the delay.

The Island is situated just off the south coast of the UK and is wedged between Southampton and Portsmouth. Total population about 120,000.

Whippingham is a small rural village and community close to the ferry port of East Cowes. This fascinating part of the Isle of Wight has until recently been largely ignored as tourists passed through on their way to the south of the Island.

Recently there have been changes and the area is experiencing the beginnings of developments that haven't been seen in this area since World War 2. This website is a resource for local people and others to find out more about an area that was on the fringe of the Island's urban expansion in Victorian times, but played a crucial part in supporting life and work on the Royal Osborne Estate.
