Links to Events and Places open in new window
It may be late autumn and winter, but the Island still has things to do. Such is the climate of the Island that even in winter it is possible to perhaps cycle, run or walk some of the beautiful paths that dot the Island. There are events going on - The Literary festival or fireworks and Christmas brings their own ambience to the lovely towns and villages.

Cowes If you are coming from the mainland it is an excellent entry point from Southampton. Cowes itself is a very pleasant seaside town with a shingle beach. Plenty of shops and accommodation, but in the summer it is best to book, for the town is a popular holiday destination not only for yachting folk.
Havenstreet. The main place for the Isle of Wight Steam Railway events and the Railway Museum. The stations are Smallbrook, Ashey Havenstreet and Wootton. Havenstreet is only a short distance to Ryde.
Arreton is a very old village few miles east of Newport. Arreton Barns is situated in the village. There is a craft village and the Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum are within the complex.
Yarmouth Another of the entry ports to the Island, this time from the lovely town of Lymington. English Heritage own Yarmouth Castle. The town is a pleasant mix of pleasant country town and port.
We hope you have a pleasant stay and an enjoyable event.
