Yarbridge

Yarbridge

Yarbridge is a hamlet on the Isle of Wight. It is at the southern tip of Brading. It has a pub called the Yarbridge Inn (formerly the Anglers Inn) which has a railway theme.

The bridge defended by a Second World War pillbox was constructed in the Middle Ages by Sir Theobald Russell who was killed fighting a French invasion, dying of his wounds at Knighton Gorges. Until its construction, Bembridge had been an island accessible only at low tide. It also crosses the railway and is bordered by a bird sanctuary on Brading Marshes.

Brading Roman Villa is close by.
