Colwell Baptist Church

The little Baptist chapel at Colwell sits just above Totland Bay, a five-minute walk from the seafront if you fancy combining a spiritual moment with your coastal break. It's modest - genuinely modest - with the kind of Victorian brick exterior you'd walk past without thinking twice if you weren't specifically looking for it. But that's rather the point. This is a working chapel, not a museum piece, and locals treat it with genuine affection.

You'll get the most from it if you're either a church history type or simply after a quiet spot away from the beach crowds. The interior is simple and restful, the sort of place where an hour of sitting makes actual sense. There's no gift shop, no admission charge as far as anyone knows, and opening hours aren't published - which tells you everything about its role in the community.

With The Bay Colwell and Heathfield Farm Camping Park virtually on your doorstep - both within spitting distance - you could easily slot this into a lazy morning routine before breakfast. It works best as part of the wider Totland Bay experience rather than a destination in itself. The walk there takes you past decent views across the western coast, which is never wasted time. If you're camping locally and after something low-key and genuinely British, it's worth the brief wander.
