Rew Down is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) located on the south east edge of the Isle of Wight in the hills to the west of Ventnor.

The area is a chalk grassland sloping to the south and offering panaramic and far reaching views of the English Channel. It has the Stenbury Trail running along its western boundary and the Ventnor golf club to the North.

It is managed by the Isle of Wight Council and is noted for its Highland cattle which have grazed the land since 2003.

The area is also a 23.5 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It was notified in 1977.
