All About The Isle Of Wight
Just a few miles off the cost between Portsmouth and Bournemouth is the island of the Isle Of Wight. Queen Victoria was very fond of this isle and her and her husband built their summer home here. It receives slightly warmer weather on average than the rest of the UK because of its location. This is why it became such an ideal holiday spot for Victorians looking for a summer holiday and it’s just as popular today. To this day millions of people every year flock to this little island to enjoy all it has to offer. This is the perfect family destination whether you’re looking for educational day trips or just want to chill out on the beach.
Ferry is the most popular way to get to the isle. There are several ferry services that travel to the island from the UK mainland throughout the day. Most ferries will give you the option of bringing your car with your onto the island. If you want to leave the car behind the island’s public transportation is more than adequate to get around. Walking is just as easy with this 23 mile wide island offering more than 500 miles of coutry walks and pubic footpaths. These allow you to take in all the beauty the Isle of Wight offers in your own time and at your own pace. Many of these paths are also perfect for cyclists too, no matter what your ability it’s the perfect way to enjoy the scenery. There are even several hire shops if you want to borrow a bike for the day.
If you are looking to take in some peaceful scenery, the IOW is the perfect place to take advantage of this. With over half the diamond island being a dedicated are of outstanding natural beauty you’re bound to see something to take your breath away. One of the more popular sites for walkers are The Needles Stacks. Flowing just of the western tip if the isle, they’re three sharp chalky rocks sticking out the sea.
