Wroxall is a small, quietly picturesque village on the southern side of the Isle of Wight in England, set among rolling downland and farmland a short drive from the seaside resorts of Shanklin and Ventnor. Its lanes, hedgerows and nearby footpaths make it popular with walkers and people seeking a quieter base while exploring the island's coastline and countryside.

The village retains a strong local feel with traditional buildings and community activities centred on the village hall and church; economically it combines agriculture with tourism and commuting to larger island towns such as Newport. There are also reminders of the area's longer history in the form of old estate buildings and farmsteads, giving Wroxall a mix of rural charm and historic character.
