THE ISLE OF WIGHT
Saturday 20 - Sunday 21 June
THE ISLE
OF WIGHT, world famous amongst yachtsmen, is a
beautiful island off England’s South Coast, with a
wealth of lovely countryside, sandy beaches and a
spectacular coastline. Many of the villages are full of
Old World charm, and there are numerous places of
interest to visit. The Island’s climate is also
generally milder than the rest of England. Our hotel is
situated in one of the island’s premier resorts,
SHANKLIN
On Saturday, after a short ferry
crossing, our tour begins at historic OSBORNE
HOUSE, where Queen Victoria lived and spent
much of her time after the death of her beloved Prince
Albert. At Osborne, you will also find many personal
belongings and mementoes of Victoria and her family. We
then travel to the picturesque thatched village of
GODSHILL for afternoon tea on the lawn—
a traditional English thing to do! Afterwards, we check
into our hotel in SHANKLIN , where you can
explore, swim in the hotel’s pool or take a stroll on
the beach.
After breakfast on Sunday, our tour
takes us to CARISBROOKE CASTLE, where
King Charles I was imprisoned prior to his execution.
After lunch we drive to ALUM BAY,
famous for its multi-coloured sands, and THE
NEEDLES, before catching our ferry back from
YARMOUTH to LYMINGTON,
and our drive back to London through the NEW
FOREST
.
The island’s history, beaches, and an indoor swimming pool make this an ideal springtime break for all ages to enjoy.
