Morton, Isle of Wight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morton is the area of Brading to the south where Morton Marshes and the River Yar separate Brading from the extension of housing estates from the larger town of Sandown. It is distinguished by the hawthorn hedges which bloom with white flowers and are siad to signify an unseasonal cold spell, termed a "Blackthorn Winter" in local weather lore. Morton Manor, owned by Jan Trzebski, is open to the public sporadically.
