For us the Isle of Wight is all about dinosaurs, beach and cliff top walks or leaping from the cliffs with a paraglider - possibly not everyone’s cup of tea, but the island offers something for almost everyone.
For the children there are numerous beaches, theme parks, wildlife parks and other tourist activities to visit.
For the adults and families there is Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, Brading Roman Villa, numerous craft centres, Alum Bay theme park and chair lift, fishing trips, Island pleasure flights, guided walks..... plus much much more.
The Island has many nice pubs serving local beer and good reasonably priced food. Many of these also have live entertainment. The local ‘Countryman’ is within easy walking distance and provides excellent quality food. Also recommended are the Crown at Shorwell, the White Mouse Inn at Chale and the Sun Inn at Hulvestone.
