I S LE OF WIGH T HO L I DAY

First time visitors often ask where they should stay on the Isle of Wight, and what the must-see attractions are when they arrive.

The answer is that our beautiful Island has something for you, whatever you want from your holiday.

If you are looking for a traditional seaside family break with clean, award-winning sandy beaches and entertainment for younger visitors then start your search around Sandown, Shanklin, Ryde or Ventnor.

As well as being amongst the UK’s sunniest spots, these resorts have our biggest range of hotels and B&Bs alongside high quality campsites and caravan parks. Take your pick from family-friendly attractions including adventure and wildlife parks, interactive museums and seaside amusements.

Or maybe you are tying in a visit around one of our world-class events, which now include Cowes Week, Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival and our walking and cycling festivals.

If so, take a look at the thriving towns of Newport and Cowes, which are well connected and only a short drive to many of the Island’s best beaches and historic sites – including castles, stately homes and roman villas. In the evening, you can choose from a range of bars, restaurants and entertainment.

Perhaps though you’re craving something a little quieter, away from the piers and pedalos.

You might consider staying in the West Wight countryside around Brighstone, Yarmouth or Freshwater where you’ll find miles of unspoilt beaches and clifftop paths with vistas of the world famous Needles Lighthouse and Alum Bay’s multicoloured sands.

By day, try watersports and fossil hunting along the Island’s south west coast or search for red squirrels in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. At night, try a cosy village pub serving local produce and admire a starry sky without light pollution.

Wherever you choose to stay on the Isle of Wight, we’re confident you’ll be back next year.

UNIQUELY WIGHT EXPERIENCES Hovercraft Rides The very first hovercraft was produced on the Isle of Wight back in 1956, and you can now take a trip from Ryde to Southsea and experience the last remaining commercial Hovercraft service in the world. It’s also the quickest way to cross the Solent at just 10 minutes journey time!

Festival Fever Two of the UK’s biggest music festivals, Bestival and The Isle of Wight Festival, are part of a big festival family on the Isle of Wight, with events of all shapes and sizes across the year. Others include the world’s largest sailing regatta at Cowes Week, The Garlic Festival, V-Dub Island, Isle of Wight Walking Festival and the International Classic Car Show.

Award-winning beaches Whether you are looking to top up your tan, take a late evening stroll as the sun sets, or simply see how far you can skim a stone, the Island has miles of award-winning sandy beaches (currently more than anywhere else in England) and rugged coastline for you to explore.

The Needles Rocks The “Needles you can’t thread” are regarded as one of the Island’s “Eight Wonders”, and the incredible chalk rocks and lighthouse they describe form our most iconic landmark. The nearby chairlift down to the colourful sands of Alum Bay beach is one of the most spectacular rides on the Island!

Outdoor Adventures With its contrasting landscapes and surrounding seas the Isle of Wight makes the perfect “playground” for watersports and adventure activities. Try your hand at everything from Archery to Zorbing, with courses and sessions available for virtually all ages and abilities. We are also regarded as one of the best places for Cycling in the world!

Dinosaur Capital of Britain The Isle of Wight is the richest place in the UK for fossil discoveries, with over 25 different species recognised to have lived on the Island when it was still connected to mainland Europe! As well as hunting for fossils on our beaches you can also try out the “Dinosaur Island” app trail along the south-coast of the Island, which lets you walk alongside dinosaurs with your smartphone or tablet.

The sunniest place in England...?

It has been a “hotly” debated topic for many years, and the Isle of Wight is often attributed as one of the places that gets the most sunshine hours. One thing we know for sure is the Island has its very own microclimate at The Undercliff in Ventnor, where we hold the English record for the warmest nights in May, June and July.

Electric Woods With an array of impressive illuminations and lightshows, the Electric Woods is a magical experience not to be missed. Hidden in the trees is a host of live music, entertainment and refreshments, with a “Festival of Light” taking place in October in addition to other displays throughout the rest of the year.

Isle of Wight Produce One thing our warmer climate allows us to do is grow some of the best local produce you will find around. Isle of Wight grown Garlic, Cheese, Tomatoes, Oils and Chilli are all regular exports as well as being available to sample locally - we also have some of the best known Ice Cream in the world produced here (sadly it doesn’t grow on trees!)

Carnival Crazy As well as holding two of the longest running parades in England the Isle of Wight also boasts the more carnivals per head of population in the whole of the UK! Catch the colourful parades throughout the summer and winter, and keep an eye out for the spectacular illuminated carnivals which light up the streets in many of our towns.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS If you’re looking to get out for some fun in the great outdoors, the Island is the perfect place to do so. Over half of ‘The Garden Isle’ is a designated ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, and looking around, it’s not hard to see why. From stunning beaches, and clear starry skies to chalk cliffs and rolling hills, the Island showcases the best bits of nature, and acts as the perfect playground for those looking for an adventure.

You may not think of the Isle of Wight as a destination for adrenalin junkies, but you’d be surprised…

The contrasting landscapes and surrounding seas allow for a huge range of exciting adventure activities, from kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, tree climbing, mountainboarding, go karting, bushcraft, land yachting, and even zorbing!

If you fancy something a bit more chilled, why not hire a bike and follow some of the cycle routes? Lonely Planet named us as one of the world’s top ten cycling destinations, with a suite of over 150 miles of way-marked bike routes through our “cyclist’s paradise”. The Island also offers some stunning coastal footpaths, including the Tennyson Trail in Freshwater where you can walk in the footsteps of the famous poet laureate up and over the headland to the iconic Needles.

Think of yourself as a bit of a party animal? As home to two of the largest outdoor music festivals in the country, the Island is a great destination for music lovers, with The Isle of Wight Festival and Bestival alone attracting over 100,000 festival goers each year. But we’re not just about the music. Cowes hosts the largest sailing regatta in the world every year for “Cowes Week” attracting over 8,000 competitors and 100,000 spectators.

The Isle of Wight has its very own microclimate, making it one of the sunniest places in the UK. Ventnor, at the southernmost tip of the Island, is home to Ventnor Botanic Gardens where exotic plants (even palm trees!) grow. Thanks to the warmer-than-average microclimate, we are able to grow some extra tasty local produce too, including garlic, tomatoes, chilli – and we’re even home to one of the oldest vineyards in Britain.

PLACES TO EAT

BY THE SEA

The Spyglass Inn

It is no surprise that an Island with more than 60 miles of coastline is renowned for its seafood, with many pubs, restaurants and cafes serving the day’s catch of crab, lobster and fish.

For those who fancy catching their own supper, there are chartered fishing trips leaving from harbours including Ventnor, Yarmouth and Bembridge.

However, there is much more on offer for those wanting to get an authentic taste of the Isle of Wight’s food and drink.

Driving through villages such as Shorwell you may notice the distinctive smell of wild garlic, which grows abundantly on verges and in woodland. In August, the village of Newchurch hosts a two-day Garlic festival, which now draws a crowd of 25,000. More adventurous festival-goers may like to sample garlic flavoured ice cream or beer.

If that doesn’t appeal then there is award-winning locally brewed beer and cider served in many of the pretty village pubs and thanks to the Island’s warmer climate there are even vineyards, producing the novelty of an English bottle of wine.

The Isle of Wight’s extensive farmland means that there is no shortage of local vegetables and dairy produce to fill up the shelves of the numerous farm shops. The Minghella family use local milk for their famous ice cream, which is produced in Wootton and received worldwide attention when the late film director Anthony Minghella made his name in Hollywood and enjoyed Oscar wins for The English Patient and Cold Mountain.

For a lunch or evening out, there are busy family-friendly pubs offering good value food alongside beer gardens and playgrounds to keep younger guests entertained. For special occasions there are fine dining restaurants offering contemporary cuisine, alongside atmospheric beachside bars and cafes - many of which are open in the evening to make the most of the summer sun.

The Spyglass Inn in Ventnor is a bustling family pub with regular live music from its prime position on the esplanade.

Locally caught seafood from the nearby Ventnor Haven is a speciality. Open all year. www.thespyglass.com 01983 855338

The Gossips Café The Gossips Café in Yarmouth is nestled amongst the town’s castle, pier and yacht club. Enjoy a freshly-made baguette or a daily special with a close-up view of the Lymington ferry as it comes and goes. Open all year. www.thegossipscafe.co.uk 01983 760646

Fisherman’s Cottage Fisherman’s Cottage in Shanklin is about as close as you can get to dining by the sea without getting your feet wet. The 19th century thatched pub sits at the foot of Shanklin Chine with diners frequently raving about its fish and chips.

Open March to October. www.shanklinchine.co.uk/fishermans_cottage 01983 863882

The Beach Hut The Beach Hut in Bembridge only has outside seating and proudly describes itself as quirky but it has established a reputation as one of the Island’s best spots for relaxed seaside dining. Pick a warm day to admire the view and try the locally caught crab or Mediterranean specials. Open March to October. www.isleofwightbeachcafe.co.uk 07832 127737

Three Buoys Three Buoys in Appley offers contemporary and elegant cuisine in one of the East Wight’s prettiest spots. Enjoy a drink from the extensive wine list at a balcony table overlooking the wide open sands. Open all year. www.threebuoys.co.uk 01983 811212

OF OUR FAVOURITE BEACHES

Bembridge

Gurnard

Gurnard beach offers stunning sunsets looking towards yachts on the Solent. On a warm day it’s a popular spot for wandering along the promenade with an ice cream, whilst youngsters enjoy the playground overlooking the row of pretty beach huts.

St. Helens

St Helens is a perfect spot for people-watching, with paddlers and rockpoolers making the most of the still shallow wat ers.

Out to sea, you can admire one of the Solent’s imposin g forts and there’s also a plaq ue on the ruin of a church tower marking the part that the area played in the French Armada.

Appley

Appley’s wide sandy shore is a playgroun d for beach-goers, with enough space for beach football and plenty of facilities for a family outing.

Watch the Hovercra ft coming and going from Southsea or visi t the nearby Puckpo ol Park if you want try your hand at min to igolf or see some wa rtime fortifications.

Compton Compton Bay is a favourite with surfers and bodyboarders searching for the perfect wave. The crumbling cliffs behind hide dinosaur fossils which occasionally emerge in stormy weather. A drive over the top of the adjacent Military Road reveals one of the Island’s most memorable views.

Osborne Osborne Bay was Queen Victoria’s private beach and it finally opened to the public in 2012 for those visiting Osborne House.

You can now sit in her Majesty’s ornate alcove where she spent many hours sketching the Solent.

Steephill Cove Steephill Cove has the feeling of a secluded Cornish fishing village with pretty thatched houses and lobster pots on the shoreline. A visit requires a bit of effort, down an (unsurprisingly) steep path but it is well worth it.

Freshwater

Freshwater Bay is two beaches in one. The stoney section is popular with first-time ‘standup paddleboarders’ who you’ll often see trying to navigate away from the shore. Round to the right as you face the sea is a secluded sandy beach with rockpools at low tide.

Sandown Sandown is a classic British seaside resort with more than a day’s entertainment for young or not so young visitors. Try out a pedalo, take a nostalgic walk on the pier, build a sandcastle or visit Sandham Gardens where you’ll find one of the Isle of Wight’s best playgrounds.

ADVENT URE IS L A N D A place of infinite possibilities, the Isle of Wight is fantastic fun for families with new and exciting discoveries around every corner.

Thrill-seekers can brave white-knuckle rides at amusement parks, come face to face with tigers and crocodiles at animal kingdoms, swoop down to the beach on a chairlift over multi-coloured cliffs or go in search of creatures that walked the Island 130-million years ago.

Attractions offer interactive history, family fun, outdoor activities, music festivals and more so you’ll never be stuck for interesting things to see and do. Many of our popular attractions have holiday events throughout the year with firework displays, woodland illuminations, theatre workshops and art & craft workshops. Themed birthday parties and special junior experiences such as “Zookeeper for a day” also provide an unforgettable day out for children.

As the UK’s dinosaur capital, it’s not surprising that there are also a fantastic range of fun and educational attractions at Island theme parks and museums that bring dinosaurs to life. Embark on your pre-historic journey by downloading the incredible ‘Dinosaur Island’ app and take pictures of family and friends walking alongside these mighty giants in the very place they were discovered!

Indeed wherever you go, you will find evidence of the Island’s chequered past - coastal forts built to protect the Island from foreign invasion a castle used to imprison King Charles I after his defeat in the

English Civil War and a working Benedictine monastery, built on the Island after religious orders had to leave France at the beginning of the 20th century because of persecution.

Get close to nature on a Wildlife Weekend and discover ancient woodlands, wondrous wetlands and the Island’s top rock pooling sites.

Or visit during the annual walking festival in May and take part in a range of Family Discovery Walks, from story walks where children can walk along the shore at low tide searching for sea glass, driftwood and limpet shells to evening Ghost Walks – keep close behind our guides as they regale you with tales of mystery and suspense.

For more fun-filled activities and adventure, our award-winning beaches offer safe, clean entertainment for all ages. The Island’s resort towns have long sandy beaches with traditional activities and amenities from Crazy Golf and mini fairgrounds to beachfront cafes and quaint pubs serving freshly caught seafood often landed on the beach right next to you! Leave the car behind and catch the bus for spectacular coastal views - there are also open-top “Breezer” tours, and a “hop on, hop off” Island Coaster service which has the capacity to carry bikes.

For an Island just 13 miles from north to south and 27 miles from east to west, the Isle of Wight offers an incredible range of things to see and do.

Add to this a warmer than average climate and it’s not surprising that it continues to be the perfect holiday destination for adventure seekers.

Quality is equally as important for us as it is for you and therefore most accommodation featured in this guide has been quality graded by either Visit England or the AA. Please be aware that gradings may change during the life of this guide and therefore it is advisable, before booking your accommodation, that you contact the establishment to clarify the current grading status or contact the grading authorities direct by visiting www.qualityintourism.com or www.theaa.com

These quality ratings indicate the overall accommodation standard, cleanliness, ambiance, hospitality, service and quality of food. Generally the higher the star rating the higher the quality.

Star Ratings are also accompanied by a category which describes the assessment criteria and includes Hotels, B&B’s, Self Catering, Hostels and Holiday Parks.

Isle of Wight Local Accommodation Assessment Scheme This scheme is a local annual inspection scheme accredited by Visit England. Assessments are carried out by independent assessors at Quality in Tourism (QIT), according to criteria agreed by Visit England.

ACCOMMODATION AGENCIES It’s not easy choosing the right place to stay.

Accommodation agencies can make the process much simpler and less stressful.

An agency - which has its own list of properties and expert staff - can be a big help in making sure you pick the right place to stay.

For example, you may need a two bedroom property with a large secluded garden, close to a pub that serves food, and not too far from the sea.

It could pay you to let an agency do the work for you.

Wherever you stay, we’re sure you’ll love the Island and will want to come back for more!

There are some good pubs and restaurants selling a range of different cuisines.

Lake Beach is located between the popular resort beaches of Sandown and Shanklin, and shares the same gently sloping golden sands and clear swimming waters. To the rear of Lake Beach (also known as Dunroamin Beach) the cliff rises steeply creating a dramatic looking natural screen and shelter for the beach, at the foot of which runs the sea wall and path / cycleway.

RURAL WIGHT

Being a traditional British seaside destination there is no shortage of places to grab an ice cream and snacks along the seafront in Sandown.

Sandown has excellent bus and train services and makes an excellent base for a visit to the Isle of Wight.

WEST WIGHT

Sandown has lots of things to do for people of all ages and interests. With a great selection of attractions, including a Zoo housed in an old fort and a purpose built interactive Dinosaur Museum.

One of the town’s most well-known features is the traditional Sandown Pier.

There is a range of traditional amusements and arcade games, with bowling, crazy golf and cafes to keep adults and children entertained for hours.

Sandown’s seafront is lined with a variety of hotels which offer panoramic seaviews across the bay. Elsewhere in the town there are lots of choices of other types of accommodation. If you are looking to come camping on the Isle of Wight there are sites a short distance from the town which offer both tent and caravan pitches.

RYDE AND EAST WIGHT

The main town beach stretches all the way along the Esplanade where it meets Yaverland Beach, which is popular for watersports, and there are a number of local water sports centres from which you can test your skills at windsurfing, kayaking or many other activities.

With one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur fossils anywhere in the world, the Isle of Wight has been dubbed “Dinosaur Island”. The area around Sandown Bay is a fun place for fossil hunting, so with a keen eye you could be leaving with a very special, very old souvenir.

COWES AND EAST COWES

You can relax and spend quality time strolling along Sandown Beach followed by an ice cream or refreshments at one of the beach cafés.

VENTNOR AND SOUTH WIGHT

Sandown sits on the South East coast of the Isle of Wight, sheltered in a beautiful bay, and is famed for its long stretches of golden sandy beach and the traditional British seafront and pier.

A short walk from here and you will discover one of the Isle of Wight’s best kept secrets, Steephill Cove, which is one of the most relaxing beaches on the Island.

Many of Ventnor’s hotels are housed in charming Victorian buildings, and as a traditional holiday resort there is no shortage of places to stay in the local area.

If you are looking for spectacular sea views Ventnor’s hillside location provides many of the buildings with this aspect, so be sure to check with the accommodation provider if this option is available when booking.

WEST WIGHT

A short distance from the seafront at the Western side of the town you can stroll through Ventnor Park, which leads onto the famous Ventnor Botanic Gardens where the town’s micro-climate can be truly appreciated in a 22 acre sub-tropical paradise.

Along Ventnor esplanade there are several pubs, cafes and restaurants offering a variety of food and refreshments, with a number of alternative places to eat further into town. With the local fisheries there are some great fish and seafood options available at many of the eateries, and some of the local hotels are highly recommended for their fine dining experiences.

RYDE AND EAST WIGHT

Ventnor has plenty of things to do both in the town and nearby. Ventnor Beach is a great suntrap, and the sand and shingle beach is great for sunbathing and family swimming. The beach huts that line the back of the beach are converted Victorian “bathing machines” and are available to hire, along with deckchairs.

On the main promenade there is a traditional arcade with a range of amusements, then opposite the harbour the spectacular Cascade Gardens run down the side of the cliff where the main road zig-zags its way back up into the main town. Further along there is a children’s paddling pool which features a giant map of the Isle of Wight, and from here there are great walks to Wheelers Bay and Bonchurch along the Sea Wall.

COWES AND EAST COWES

The town lies beneath St Boniface Down (the highest point on the Isle of Wight) and for the most part is built on the side of a steep hill leading down to the seafront and beach.

VENTNOR AND SOUTH WIGHT

Ventnor on the South of the Isle of Wight is a traditional seaside resort, and one of Britain’s most famous Victorian health resorts due to its unique micro-climate.

It is easy to cross from one side of Cowes to the other across the river via the chain ferry, which is capable of carrying both foot passengers and vehicles.

Cowes offers a variety of different cuisines when you are looking for places to eat. Along with award winning restaurants selling locally sourced produce there are also some popular pubs selling traditional English food.

There is a good variety of accommodation in Cowes, which during the summer months tends to fill up very quickly so it is best to book early if you want to stay locally. There are a few hotels and guesthouses in town and various holiday cottages and flats, with more options for camping, caravanning and holiday parks on the outskirts.

RURAL WIGHT

Cowes is a vibrant area for shopping, with many boutique stores mixed in with nautical stores and quirky gift shops, and it is easily navigated along the pedestrianised High Street. The parade which sits to the west of the town front is a great place to take a stroll, and makes for an easy scenic walk along to the neighbouring village of Gurnard.

Cowes Week is one of the main events on the Isle of Wight calendar, and as the largest sailing regatta in the world it has been known to double the population of Cowes when it takes place during the summer.

There are many other sailing events that take place from and to Cowes during the year, with the historic Royal Yacht Squadron providing the starting point for many races such as the Round the Island Race.

WEST WIGHT

There are plenty of activities and things to do in Cowes. Sailing is obviously a very popular pastime, and if you are visiting there are several rib and yacht charter companies where you can hire a vessel. There are local museums where you discover more about the maritime and military histories of both Cowes and the Isle of Wight as a whole.

Both sides of the town have award-winning beaches, which offer fantastic views across the Solent. Both Cowes beach and East Cowes beach provide great vantage points for many of the regular sailing events that take place in the town.

There is also no shortage of places to grab a tasty snack or ice cream and sit by the marina to watch the boats in the Solent.

RYDE AND EAST WIGHT

Both sides of the town are steeped in maritime heritage, with large marinas making them very popular for sailing all year round, and the world’s largest sailing regatta “Cowes Week” takes place here every summer. The West side of the town, usually known as just “Cowes”, has a foot passenger ferry link to the mainland, with one of the major vehicle ferry links to the Isle of Wight landing on the Eastern side, known as “East Cowes”.

Possibly the most famous attraction on the Isle of Wight is Queen Victoria’s former residence, the magnificent Osborne, which sits just outside of East Cowes.

COWES AND EAST COWES

Cowes is the northernmost town on the Isle of Wight and has the unique feature of being split into two by the mouth of the River Medina.

RURAL WIGHT

As the largest town on the Isle of Wight it is little surprise that Ryde is the venue for some of the biggest events that take place annually.

Every August bank holiday thousands of scooter enthusiasts descend upon Ryde for the Isle of Wight Scooter Rally, and only a few weeks later Ryde Esplanade can be seen covered in cherished classic cars for the International Classic Car Show.

There are also various holiday cottage options in Ryde for those looking for a selfcatering break, and several campsites just outside of Ryde town offering caravan and camping options.

WEST WIGHT

With a number of cafes and restaurants located along both the seafront and into the town itself there is plenty of choice on offer for places to eat in Ryde. Both Union Street and Ryde High Street offer various cuisines from around the globe as well as a good range of bars and pubs for more traditional “pub grub”.

As a long established seaside resort Ryde has a number of traditional hotels and guesthouses available to those looking for accommodation.

RYDE AND EAST WIGHT

Ryde esplanade offers a number of great places for family entertainment, including the ice rink and superbowl. Further along there is a fun fair for young children and a very popular canoe lake which leads on to Ryde’s sandy beaches.

Tucked away on the south-west side of Ryde you will find the Play Lane Millennium Green, a tranquil beauty spot, perfect for relaxing with a picnic.

Ryde also holds one of the UK’s oldest carnivals, which is traditionally held at the end of the summer and forms the end of the Isle of Wight carnival season which travels across the Island.

COWES AND EAST COWES

Ryde offers a great variety of things to do which will interest all ages, not least of which are the hovercraft and catamaran ferry from which you can travel to and from the mainland.

Continue along the seafront and you will discover the imposing Appley Tower, which is situated at the back of Appley beach, and even further along this walk you will reach the Victorian Fortification Battery at Puckpool Park.

VENTNOR AND SOUTH WIGHT

In addition to an expanse of sandy beaches which stretch right along the town, Ryde has a great selection of boutique shops, museums and galleries for you to visit along with lots of other things to see and do along its esplanade.

SANDOWN AND LAKE

Ryde is the largest town on the Isle of Wight, and with its prominent position along the seafront and hovercraft and passenger ferry links it is little wonder it is often referred to as “The Gateway to the Island”.

Some of the most beautiful Isle of Wight beaches are found over this side, with Compton Bay and Brook Beach offering a combination of sandy beaches and potential dinosaur discoveries!

West Wight also offers a good choice of places to eat, with locally sourced food and produce central to many menus.

West Wight plays host to one of the largest and longest running events on the Isle of Wight in the Old Gaffers Sailing Festival in Yarmouth. In addition there are a number of other regular events including the world music festival “Rhythmtree” Open Studios arts and crafts and a closed road cycling event along the coast road in the “Wight Riviera”.

There is a great range of choice for accommodation in West Wight, including bed & breakfasts, hotels and self-catering and holiday cottage breaks. In and around the main towns of Freshwater and Yarmouth there are a number of options, or if you prefer something quieter there are plenty of providers in rural locations. There are some fabulous secluded cottages, or if you prefer the comforts of a B&B you will find some splendid guesthouses.

RURAL WIGHT

One of West Wight’s main attractions is the stunning landscape, with rolling downs, undeveloped coastline and unspoiled countryside making up an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a rich variety of plant and animal life in a remarkably small area.

In the quiet corner of the Isle of Wight you’ll find every opportunity to rediscover the simple holiday pleasures. One of the most popular walks on the Isle of Wight is the Tennyson Trail, which starts at Carisbrooke Castle, and runs along the central ridge of West Wight.

Many of the coastal cafes and tearooms offer some of the most spectacular views on the Isle of Wight, giving you the option of a unique eating out experience.

WEST WIGHT

Visit one of Britain’s most famous natural landscapes, the Needles Rocks where you can take a boat trip to get the best view.

From here you can also see the famous coloured sands of Alum Bay.

For those that enjoy traditional attractions and activities there is a diverse selection that includes adventure parks, animal attractions, a 16th century castle and a converted Victorian fort.

RYDE AND EAST WIGHT

With lots to explore for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers alike, West Wight is a must-see during your holiday or short break on the Island.

COWES AND EAST COWES

The quieter side of the Isle of Wight is known as “West Wight”, and is a regular haven for those that enjoy outdoor and leisure activities.

Towering over Ventnor is St Boniface Down which gives the town its unique microclimate and attractive appearance with Victorian Villas on terraces tumbling down to the blue flag beach.

Isle of Wight Farm and Country Holidays offer exceptional bed and breakfast and self catering accommodation in unique countryside locations. We have properties set in rural and village locations, some on working farms, some peacefully quiet, so there is something to suit everyone! From the sandy coves, along dramatic cliffs and into the wooded downs beyond, our properties are tucked away in superb settings.

You have the choice of farmhouses, cottages, lovingly restored barn conversions and even manor houses. Our members’ warmth of welcome matches the care and attention they give to their properties.

Holidaying on a working farm always offers something different

ISLE OF W I G H T Dog Friendly Isle of Wight The Isle of Wight is one of the most “DogFriendly” places to visit in the UK, with a variety of walks available around our striking coastline, and inland over acres of downland, valleys and woodland.

Travelling to the Isle of Wight with your dog is easy, dogs travel completely FREE on all routes to the island. Once here dogs are welcomed on our bus and train networks, who are only too happy to allow “well behaved” pooches to come along for the ride!

Dog Friendly Beaches Isle of Wight beaches are the perfect playground for dogs with a great selection of both sandy and stone beaches for them to dig up and race around. With many beaches offering dogs a network of rock pools to

explore, and of course plenty of waves to chase and bound about in, there is no end of choices for burning off all that excess canine energy! For a full list of dog friendly beaches and any restrictions that apply visit www.visitisleofwight.co.uk

Dog walking and Dog Days Out With over 500 miles there is no shortage of choice for places to walk your dog. There are a large number of attractions that accept dogs throughout the year, so if you fancy a break from walking there are plenty of other activities you can see and do with your canine companion.

Dogs are also very welcome at many Isle of Wight pubs, with many allowing dogs indoors as well as outdoors, with water bowl facilities provided and sometimes even treats for your best friend!

Dog Friendly Accommodation We have over 100 hotels, guest houses and self-catering establishments that are more than happy to welcome and accommodate dogs during your stay. Look out for the Pets welcome symbol on the adverts through the guide and for a full list check out the dog friendly section on www.visitisleofwight.co.uk
