Pondwell

Pondwell

Pondwell is an area of the Isle of Wight between Seaview and Ryde (Wight is an English island off the southern coast). The houses are arranged to the south east of a crossroads known as Bullen Cross, which features an ancient electricity junction box from a 19th century local power generating company. It is also the site of Seaview Wildlife Encounter — formerly Flamingo Park, a small zoo and waterfowl park. There is also a pub called the "Wishing Well" (free house). It also offers holiday chalets at the Salterns and a nail technician, mortgage broker and the chair of the IOW Table Tennis Association. The beach at the bottom of the Salterns was formerly a thriving harbour for timber export.
