About Roud

Roud lies at the centre of the Isle of Wight, making it a handy base for exploring the island's villages and countryside. You'll need to catch a ferry from Portsmouth, Southampton, or Lymington first, then follow local roads branching off the main A3020 and A3056. With over 50 EV charging points across the island and Bembridge Airport nearby, it's well-connected for such a small place. The name comes from the Old English for "clearing," hinting at the ancient forests that once blanketed this part of the island.
