Wootton Bridge

Wootton Bridge is on the North side of the Isle of Wight, to the West of Ryde.

As well as being an area, it is also a thing – an actual bridge that sits over connection between Wootton Creek and The Old Mill Pond.

It’s quite close to Fishbourne, the ferry port for the Ryde to Portsmouth Wightlink ferry route.
