Stunning coastlines

The Isle of Wight is one of the UK’s most beautiful regions with stunning coastlines, cliffs and idyllic countryside. The island has always been a source of inspiration, from Dickens and Lewis Caroll to musicians and bands from all over the world, who have appeared at the famous Isle of Wight Festival.
