Isle of Wight
Only minutes away from the mainland and so easy to reach - yet the Isle
of Wight is a world apart.
This diamond-shaped island has a magic all of its own - and is one of
the UK's sunniest and warmest places. Measuring 23 miles by 13 miles,
the Island lies just off England's South Coast, but no passport is needed
for the short sea crossing - and once you've landed on the Island everything
is within easy reach.
Boasting award-winning beaches, unspoilt and
spectacular scenery and a rich historical heritage, there are attractions,
activities and adventures to suit visitors of all ages and nationalities.
Discover picturesque villages, spectacular cliffs, downland, sandy beaches,
rich farmlands, creeks, marshland, river valleys, and a rich diversity
of wildlife, flora and fauna.
More than half the Island is an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with 500 miles of award-winning public
footpaths and bridleways, while almost 30 miles of its seashore is Heritage
Coast.
