The Isle of Wight
and things to do
The Isle of Wight is the largest island of Great Britain just off the south coast of England. It is diamond-shaped and just 23 miles wide and has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times with Queen Victoria having built her summer residence, Osborne House, here. More recently it has become renowned for its music hosting the Isle of Wight Festival and Bestival. We also have a great animal wildlife both historically being one of the richest locations for dinosaur fossils in Europe as well as being home to the Red Squirrel.
The weather is influenced by the sea breezes and warm, south-westerly winds. During the summer months of May, June, July, August and September we often have extremely sunny weather and the climate is generally between one and two degrees higher in temperature than the UK mainland.
As an island packed with a wonderfully wide variety of attractions, events, historical places and beautiful sights to see there is something for everyone. Some of the key attractions you may be interested in include:
