Local attractions

Newport

Situated in the centre of the Isle of Wight and just minutes from Rookley Country Park, Newport is its most popular shopping centre, with small exclusive shops, major brands and superstores. There's a wide range of entertainment, from a multi-screen cinema to a host of bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Carisbrooke Castle provides the main focus of its historical interest.

Sandown

A must for sunseekers, Sandown is the ideal spot for a day at the seaside. Take a stroll along the pier with its amusements and rides, visit the Isle of Wight Zoo or Dinosaur Isle, or walk along Sandown's miles of soft sandy beaches or along the coast and upto the picturesque viewpoint of Culver Down, or along to the quiet seaside resort of Shanklin with its beautiful Old Village.

Godshill

The quintessential English village, Godshill's thatched cottages, tea rooms and traditional pubs make it a haven for those in search of old-world charm. Overlooking the village is the magnificent 15th Century church, among the 10 most visited in the UK.
