About the Isle of Wight

The Island has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times for its naturally mild climate, more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the UK, and the feeling of escapism the short ferry trip across the Solent envokes. It offers something for all ages and interests, with varied terrains and waters creating a playground for watersports and activity enthusiasts, quaint villages, country pubs and gastro experiences for those looking to kick back and relax, and places to visit and explore for family adventurers.

It also hosts some of the UK's leading events, such as the Isle of Wight Festival (which in 1970 was the world's largest rock music festival), Cowes Week (the world famous sailing regatta), and even has a Garlic Festival where you can taste garlic ice cream and beer!
