Hulverstone, Isle of Wight

Hulverstone, Isle of Wight

Hulverstone is a hamlet of about 12 houses on the Isle of Wight on the edge of the Solent. It also includes a post office in a private home and the 400 year old Sun Inn. [Somespecify claim that the Sun Inn is 600 years old.] Sun Inn was previously used in smuggling operations. There is also a school in Hulverstone in a private home that was previously a barn before it was converted in the mid-1800s by Charles Seely.

There was a Hulverstone farm but it no longer exists. The manor house is still used as a private home, however.

The Chapel Furlong Farm in Hulverstone is the site of a bed and breakfast.

Public transport is provided by Southern Vectis buses on route 7.
