ISLE OF WIGHT
The Isle of Wight is 3 miles by boat from the south coast of England. With a resident population of 140,000 people it covers an area of 25miles by 13 miles at its longest and widest.
Being a holiday destination the population increases dramatically during the summer months as people visit to take advantage after our milder climate, wonderful beaches, beautiful and varied coast line, magnificent walks over gentle rolling downs, sailing and a rich history of Royal connections spanning hundreds of years.
