Coastal Cities, Towns, Villages A - Z
There are currently 3 locations in this directory beginning with the letter V.
Valley, AngleseyThe village of Valley is located close to the Cymryan Strait, a channel of water that divides Holy Island from the much larger Isle of Anglesey. Its position directly on the A5 road, and next to the A55 North Wales Expressway, means that can be a fairly busy village, with a few shops and a large hotel located in Valley. On the northern side of the Newlands Park area of the village, a country lane links Valley to a small strip of coastline, where a sandy beach makes up the shore. However, there is no parking available next to the beach.
Ventnor, Isle of WightVentnor is a small coastal town that sits on the southern edge of the Isle of Wight. It has a quaint Victorian charm, with an esplanade that gently curves around a sandy beach. Cliffs flank either side of the bay, with parks and patches of woodland resting on the clifftops, providing great places for people to take in the impressive natural scenery. Built on the side of a hill, Ventnor is filled with many townhouses and other buildings that overlook the English Channel, and numerous tea rooms, restaurants and pubs are located in the town centre. A thriving arts scene is centred in the town, with various artists and craftspeople based in the town. An annual carnival is held in Ventnor every August, as well as an open arts festival.
Vidlin, Mainland Island, Shetland IslandsSitting at the head of Vidlin Voe, the small village of Vidlin is home to a marina, and a ferry terminal that links Shetland’s Mainland with a couple of other smaller isles. As well as farmhouses and cottages, a small store, a petrol station and a village hall are located here.
