Brading & St. Helens sits on the eastern edge of the Isle of Wight, taking in the small market town of Brading and the coastal village of St. Helens. The ward includes the brackish inlet of Brading Harbour and the shingle and salt‑marsh of St Helens Duver, which faces Sandown Bay, making it a quiet hotspot for birdwatching, sailing and coastal walks.
Historically the area has maritime and farming roots and benefits from summer tourism; highlights include the Romano‑British mosaics at Brading Roman Villa, a medieval parish church and a small surviving fishing community in St. Helens. Local life is largely rural and community‑orientated, with seasonal regattas, volunteer nature groups and a mix of holiday accommodation, farms and independent shops supporting the local economy.
