Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK place Gurnard is a village and civil parish[1] 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), 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.[2]
Transport is provided by Southern Vectis route 32 to and from Cowes, and route 1 to Cowes and Newport, Isle of Wight.[3]
