Isle of Wight

Carisbrook Castle

For a break you’ll always remember, no island comes this close! The long, hot days of summer attract hundreds of visitors to the coastal resorts to enjoy sailing or a traditional seaside holiday. The island boasts 60 miles of spectacular coastline, with picturesque coves and beautiful bays of golden sand with safe bathing.

The countryside is magnificent. Aside from being an internationally renowned centre for sailing, the island offers countless opportunities to pursue every kind of sport activity. From fishing to golf and windsurfing to flying there is something for everyone.

This diamond-shaped isle is a treasure trove of historic and prehistoric interest. Dinosaurs, ancient tribes, Romans and monarchs throughout the ages have left behind a fascinating trail into the past. The island was once a frequent haunt of many eminent Victorians, including Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, J M W Turner and Queen Victoria.
