Isle of Wight Guide

The Isle of Wight is a beautiful island just off the south coast of England. With stunning scenery, historical sites and charming villages, it's bursting with things to see and do. 

The Isle of Wight festival is one of its biggest attractions, with thousands of music-lovers flocking to the shores in June. It's one of the most well-known music events in the UK, attracting some big names in the industry. If you're not into festivals though, there's plenty to keep you busy, whether that's sailing, surfing, cycling, hiking, eating or exploring!

The Needles, stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea, are one of the Isle of Wight's most famous attractions. You can enjoy incredible views of The Needles and the surrounding scenery from a fun chairlift ride. Other popular sights for your itinerary include the historic Carisbrooke Castle, former royal residence, Osborne House and Shanklin Chine, a beautiful gorge with waterfalls.
