Puckpool is a small coastal settlement on the outskirts of Ryde on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire’s great south island. The area is best known for Puckpool Park, a park with an 18-hole putting green, 12 hole mini golf and two tennis courts.[1] Puckpool Battery is located within the boundaries of the park; this is an old Palmerston Fort, built in 1865.
Puckpool Point features a natural sheltered bay offering a large expanse of sand and a gently sloping beach which becomes very popular with tourists and local residents during the summer season. A wide pedestrian and cycle promenade leading to Puckpool Point lines the entire bay.
