ISLE OF WIGHT THE DIAMOND ISLE
Situated just four miles from the mainland across the Solent, the Isle of Wight is often described as 'The Garden Isle'. The wonderful scenery and attractive resorts make it the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Enjoying an unseasonable amount of warmth and sunshine, more than half the Isle of Wight has been designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. Queen Victoria fell in love with the Island and after her first visit to Osborne House pronounced: 'it is impossible to find a prettier spot.’

After our morning door to door service we head south and enjoy the short ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight.
DTUESDAY DAY 2
This morning we visit Cowes, best known as the world's premier yachting centre and the island's main port with a natural harbour.

Inside the house, get an intimate glimpse into royal life as you explore private apartments and grand reception rooms lined with furnishings and artworks from the Royal Collection. Outside, wander among flower-filled gardens, discover the quirky museum in the Swiss Cottage and relax on the beach where the royal children learnt to swim.
