Legends that Lurk

Local tales whisper of Vernon, an ancient vampire who slips through Brading’s shadows at night. He loiters by pubs and crossroads, always on the lookout for an easy win, and villagers swear a sudden breeze on a dark lane means he just passed by. Charitable in his own way, Vernon shares his leftovers with the Sea Serpent of Ryde and even debates philosophy with the Chimera of Fishbourne before draining a blood bag and laughing at the absurdity of eternity.



Things to do in Brading

When Vernon isn’t gliding under moonlight, Brading has plenty for brave questers to enjoy, so get ready for some of the local haunts!

  • Brading Roman Villa – Ancient mosaics and stories from another age, though Vernon claims he remembers them first-hand.

  • An old timber house – The oldest timber house on the island is right here in Brading!

  • High Street pubs – If you feel a draught by the door after dark, best order garlic bread with your chips.
