The Faun of Newbridge is a tinkering trickster of the Isle of Wight Follies, forever “fixing” things that were never broken in the first place. Local tales describe him tightening hinges, readjusting signposts and nudging the Ogre out for a walk, usually without success. Newbridge offers more than myths, with farm parks, woodland trails, and scenic countryside walks. Grab your Isle of Wight Passport, track down the Faun’s NFC tag, and add his collectable card to your quest log.

Imagine this: you’re standing on the windswept cliffs of the Isle of Wight, a cryptic map in hand, the salty breeze teasing your hair, and a sense of excitement bubbling up inside you.

Meet the Hamstead Ogre – Isle of Wight Follies, a coastal giant who’s more soft-hearted than he looks. Surrounded by mischievous neighbours, the Ogre finds peace in rescuing stray cats and dogs and reading them poetry — even if they try to escape mid-verse! Packed with mythical mayhem, this tale is part of the Isle of Wight Follies treasure hunt, where adventure, humour, and imagination await.
