The Island has so many wonderful places just waiting to be discovered. Here are a few around some of the events above.

Shalfleet is in the north of the Island with its own shop. The parish itself is really a collection of little rural villages on the shoreline. Very pretty.

Newport is the county town of the Island and more or less in the centre. It lies on the River Medina which has been an important part of the town all its life, being the waterway to the Solent. The town makes a good centre for an Island visit as it is easy to get anywhere on the Island from Newport.

Northwood is in the north of the Island not far from Cowes on its southern side. Close to the Coastal Path. 

Yarmouth is the entry point from the mainland at Lymington. It is reckoned to be one of the smallest towns in the UK, but packs its own punch nevertheless. Venue for events throughout the year. Yarmouth Castle is owned by English Heritage.

The Isle of Wight Steam Railway holds many events during the year and warrants a visit or two. It is a real pleasure for all the family, whether you remember the old steam trains or just love them. Runs from Smallbrook to Wootton.

We hope you have a pleasant stay and an enjoyable event.
