Holiday Itinerary Isle of Wight - Turkey and Tinsel
Day 1 - Arrival
After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.
Day 2 - Isle of Wight Steam Railway & Ryde
We journey back to a bygone era as we board the award-winning Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Havenstreet. Sit back and relax in beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian carriages as we enjoy the rolling views of the glorious Isle of Wight countryside. We pass through quaint rural stations, quiet hamlets and ancient woodland on our journey to the seaside resort of Ryde.
Afterwards, we spend some time at leisure in Ryde with its long stretch of golden sand, pretty esplanade, marina and beautiful gardens. Take a stroll along the famous 19th-century pier, the oldest in England, or admire the many boats moored in the town’s busy harbour.
Day 3 - Island Highlights tour
Our fantastic optional Island Highlights tour takes us through the pretty inland village of Godshill, famous for its charming thatched-roofed cottages and delightful medieval church and then the quaint village of Chale before a photo stop at the iconic chalky outcrop, The Needles, the defining sight of the Isle of Wight. We continue to the historic port town of Yarmouth, which contains some of the oldest architecture on the island, including a 16th-century castle and lastly visit Newport, regarded as the capital of the Isle of Wight, with a historic quayside and a selection of speciality shops.
Day 4 - Osborne House & Cowes
We have the chance to explore Queen Victoria’s one-time residence on the island, Osborne House. Built as a holiday home and rural retreat in the late 1840s, the Italianate palace reflects Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s tastes and boasts spectacular views across the Solent. It is no wonder that Victoria herself once said, ‘It’s impossible to imagine a prettier spot.’ Here, we take an intimate glimpse of royal family life as we wander through the magnificent Royal Apartments as well as the walled gardens and grounds, where we find the charming Swiss Cottage, used by the royal children to learn household management.
We then head to Cowes, a vibrant and sophisticated resort home to the world-famous regatta that swells the local population each August. Enjoy a stroll along the seafront, browse the boutique shops, or admire many of the town’s ornate buildings, which date from Queen Victoria’s time, in the style popularised by Prince Albert
Day 5 - Return home
After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head for home.
