ISLE OF WIGHT THE COMPLETE VISITOR'S GUIDE

The Isle of Wight is one of England's most enchanting destinations — a diamond-shaped island just 23 miles wide and 13 miles long, sitting in the sparkling Solent just off the Hampshire coast. Yet despite its modest size, the Isle of Wight packs in astonishing variety: chalk-white sea stacks, secret coves, rolling downland, Victorian seaside towns, medieval castles, year-round festivals and a fiercely independent spirit that has made it beloved for centuries.
