THE ISLE OF WIGHT
The Isle of Wight is situated approximately 3 miles off the English Southern Coastline. It is known for its
breathtaking scenery with much of the Island being designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
Island first became popular as a holiday destination during Victorian times and its unique charm still entices
over 2.5 million visitors each year. It is quite easy to appreciate why the Island attracts so many, with its
scenic coastline, award winning golden beaches, charming little villages and temperate climate – in fact the
Island can boast more hours of sunshine than most other destinations in Britain. For the more energetic, the
Island offers over 500 miles of maintained footpaths which makes it ideal for walkers and cyclists alike. The
Islands towns offer a comprehensive range of shops and amenities including many 'High Street' names
together with popular cafes, bars and restaurants - some even being awarded the 'Michelin Star'. All in all the
Island is a wonderful holiday destination, catering for all ages and with activities for all interests.

SANDOWN
Sandown hosts one of the Islands few remaining piers offering amusements, cafe, bar, children’s play areas
and designated areas for sea fishing – great for the keen sea angler! In addition, there can also be found the
Isle of Wight Zoo (big cat sanctuary), tennis courts, putting greens, leisure complex, tea rooms and
restaurants. At night, Sandown comes to life with a variety of pubs and clubs where you can dance the night
away. Pleasant walks along the Esplanade can be enjoyed with views across the fine golden sands of the
beaches stretching over the bay to the English Channel beyond. A great destination for a holiday with so
much to do and being a perfect base from which to explore the rest of the Island...
