Gurnard is a village and civil parish〔(English Parishes & Welsh Communities N&C 2004 )〕 on the Isle of Wight, two miles to the west of Cowes. Gurnard sits on the edge of Gurnard Bay, enjoyed by the Gurnard Sailing Club. Gurnard's main street features a pub (Portland Inn), Doughty Newnham Chartered Surveyors office, a few shops and a few houses. The west end of the beach is Gurnard Marsh and a stream called "The Luck" which discharges into the Solent. A fortification known as Gurnard Fort was built on a headland west of Gurnard Marsh about 1600. The land was eroded, however, and all traces disappeared until an archaeological excavation of a Roman villa in 1864 uncovered traces of Gurnard Fort as well.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Minor Fortifications of the Isle of Wight'' ), Rob Martin, March 2006〕 Transport is provided by the former Wightbus route 32 to and from Cowes, now run by Southern Vectis. There is no longer a direct service to Newport.〔(Isle of Wight Council press release - "IW Council Steps In To Preserve Bus Routes" ) Accessed 31 August 2008.〕 ==See also== *All Saints' Church, Gurnard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gurnard, Isle of Wight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
