The Isle of Wight is our favourite place in which to take a holiday, so much so that this website has been created so more people may discover some of the natural beauty and attractions this Island has to offer. Information, pictures and personal recommendations have been gathered which may hopefully assist the visitor to this great Island. After being established in 2003 this is the new look now for the website - hope you enjoy!

Some of our favourite places to visit on The Isle of Wight

Monkey Haven

Near Newport is a family run self build project to provide a safe happy environment for primates and birds of prey.

The Garlic Farm

Great for all things Garlic! This Garlic Farm and shop near Newchurch is FREE to enter with a new adjacent licensed Cafe' as well.

Shanklin Beach

Just one of many great beaches to enjoy when the weather is just right. There are large or small beaches, commercialised or secluded - the choice is yours.

Botanic Gardens

This is an interesting place for a pleasant amble amongst sub-tropical and exotic plants and trees from around the world. The quaint Steephill Cove is nearby.

There's plenty to explore

A handful of the sections on this website that will help you make the most of your time on the island.

About the Island

There is so much to do on The Isle of Wight. It is sometimes difficult to quickly find somewhere that would meet the visitors tastes and when there are dozens of attractions in the yearly Isle of Wight Summer pocket guide, these may create too much choice!

Erosion

The Island suffers from erosion at some of its coastal areas, this slow loss of land sometimes can be prevented or slowed right down and sometimes not.

Walks

Some of our favourite walking was the complete Isle of Wight Coast Path, once anti-clockwise and the following year in a clockwise direction.

Not forgotten

Some pictures of places or items that are now lost but not forgotten on The Island.

Shanklin Old Village

This is our favourite village for several years and for a number of reasons as there is so much here to do and see.
