Pod
About
Pod, on Isle of Wight, is a bookshop at Copse Ln, Freshwater PO40 9TL, United Kingdom. First-time visitors should expect a bookshop rather than a general store, so the shelves are the main draw and the stock is the reason to make the trip to this western corner of the island.
Visitors rate Pod highly, with a 4.9 out of 5 average across 33 reviews placing it among the island's best-reviewed stops of its kind. That volume of feedback is modest but the score is emphatic, suggesting a shop that satisfies the people who seek it out. The website at http://glampingthewightway.co.uk/ carries the shop's own information for anyone planning a visit.
Reaching the shop from the island's main towns is straightforward, with Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth all connected by the island's road network. Freshwater sits close to the western coast, and Yarmouth's ferry terminal provides the nearest crossing point for visitors arriving by sea.
For a visitor, the island's cliffs and offshore islets host breeding puffins, guillemots, razorbills and Manx shearwaters, which makes the coastal walks around Freshwater a natural companion to a bookshop stop. Pod rewards a deliberate detour to the west of the Isle of Wight, and the 4.9 rating from 33 reviews reflects how consistently it does so.
