By Road and Ferry

The M3/M27 is the traditional route to the Southampton and Portsmouth ferry ports, however the opening of the new A3 tunnel at Hindhead means the A3 is now dual carriageway the whole way from J10 of the M25 into Portsmouth and is likely to be quicker for London-based visitors.

Frequent services across the Solent makes travelling to the Isle of Wight very quick and easy. We have links to the ferry companies on our links page. We are a Red Funnel Travel partner and can arrange your ferry for you.

If travelling by car, you can download and follow our handy navigation instructions or set your SatNav for PO38 2JF (or if you do not have postcode search, select Military Road near the junction with Church Place in Chale). In our experience SatNavs generally make a good job in finding us, however if you get diverted down a rough track at any point on your journey we suggest you ignore it and follow the main road until rerouted. It typically takes less than half an hour to reach us from any of the main ports.

By Public Transport

Buses are provided by Southern Vectis on bus route 6 which runs between Newport and Ventnor. Southern Vectis also provide the Southern Coaster service between March and October that runs right along the south of the Isle of Wight from Ryde to Yarmouth linking all the attractions in between. The nearest bus stop is approximately 150 yards away.
