Porchfield is a village on the Isle of Wight between Cowes and Yarmouth.[1] It is located seven kilometres southwest of Cowes in the northwest of the island.
Porchfield has a village hall - see external link below - and the nearest church is the Church of the Holy Spirit, in Newtown.[2] There are two bed and breakfasts in Porchfield, "Youngwoods Farm" and "The Ridings".[3] Colemans Animal Farm in Porchfield was a dairy farm from 1558 until the 1990s, when it was transformed into a family attraction.[4] There is a pub called "The Sportsman's Rest".[5] Wightbus bus route 35 serves the village on its way between Newport and Newtown.[6]
