The village of Nettlestone is situated on the B3330 which comes from Ryde and goes through Nettlestone and continues to St. Helens and Bembridge.

1. Parish History, there are two entries in the Domesday Book (1086), Hoteleston and Hotelstone; generally considered to be Nettlestone Farm and Nettlestone Village. These were held by the King. It is thought that they mean ‘in or near the nut-tree pasture or nut-tree wood’. By the fourteenth century, the original meaning was no longer understood and the village took the modern form of the name.
