The Isle of Wight is the perfect place
for a relaxing summer holiday or a short autumn break.
In spring, you can enjoy country rambles through many
beautiful landscapes. Over half the Island is designated
as an area of outstanding natural beauty, meaning that
it is of a national importance, and more than 70% of the
Island is protected because of the richness of its heritage.
As the Island is just 23 miles long and
13 miles wide, you are never very far from the delights
of beautiful beaches offering miles and miles of golden
sand, safe shallow waters and plenty of seaside amusements.
Many of our properties are available for
short breaks when the Island is ablaze with autumnal
colour, or in winter and at Christmas when you can enjoy
bracing walks along our rugged coastline and frosty
chalk downlands.

A rich legacy of living history...
The Isle of Wight is also a treasure trove
of historic interest with a rich and varied history
dating back to when dinosaurs roamed the land! Much
of the Island has so much evidence of this fascinating
past and with so much to discover there is some aspect
of history sure to intrigue everyone.
In the Stone Age, the Isle of Wight was
part of the mainland, and there is an abundance of archaeological
evidence to show that the same Stone Age people who
roamed Southern England were also active in what is
now the Island. Spanning the centuries from the Ice
Age through to the present day, the Isle of Wight gives
a fascinating insight into almost every aspect of history.
Osborne House was where Queen Victoria passed away 100
years ago and is still one of the Island’s major tourist
attractions. In addition, the Isle of Wight has some
beautiful parks and gardens as well as elegant houses
and castles.
