Day 2 Osborne House
This morning, we make our way to Queen Victoria’s much-loved seaside home, Osborne House. We visit the private apartments and state rooms as well as the beautiful gardens and beach, where there is a bathing machine in which the Queen used to get undressed! Tying in with the 2017 film 'Victoria and Abdul' a trail has been created, Victoria’s Island Trail, to celebrate the island’s royal connections, with Osborne House a key location.
Day 3 Circular Island Tour and The Old World Tearooms
Today, we take a circular tour of the island, which boasts 60 miles of spectacular coastline. We travel to the coastal town of Cowes and on to the Needles Park which boasts fabulous sea views and is home to the iconic chairlift, which operates from the clifftop at Alum Bay to the beach below where we can see the Needles Rocks and coloured sands. We then continue our journey to St Catherine’s Lighthouse—the Isle of Wight’s most famous landmark. Before ending the day with a cream tea at The Old World Tearooms in Godshill*.
Day 4 Isle of Wight Steam Railway
This morning, we enjoy a journey on the award-winning Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Settling back on our leisurely 5-mile journey start at Havenstreet Station from where we travel to Smallbrook Junction. From here, we enjoy a return trip to Havenstreet, where we embark on the next stage of our journey to Wootton, before returning again to Havenstreet. In the afternoon, we spend time at leisure in Sandown or Ryde, with time to explore all that these traditional seaside resorts have to offer.
