Niton and Whitwell sits on the southern edge of the Isle of Wight, combining the coastal village of Niton on the sheltered Undercliff with the small inland settlement of Whitwell. The area looks out over the English Channel from dramatic cliffs and chalk downs around St Catherine's Point, where a 19th‑century lighthouse and the medieval "pepperpot" chapel, St Catherine's Oratory, punctuate the skyline.
Locally the economy blends agriculture, small businesses and tourism - visitors drawn to coastal walks, wildlife and nearby attractions such as Blackgang Chine and Ventnor swell numbers in summer, while a close‑knit community keeps village halls, pubs and local events at the heart of daily life, preserving a strong sense of rural history and island character.
