The Isle of Wight is an especially delightful holiday destination in the English Channel, just off the south coast of Southampton. A brief ferry ride takes holidaymakers across the Solent in as little as half an hour depending on which ferry company is used. Once there, the gorgeous countryside and beaches of the island await. Much of the island is listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a desirable cottage holiday destination in southern England. There is an enormous stock of holiday accommodation of all types, obviosuly holiday cottages with their own swimming pools are at the more expensive high quality end of the market and highly desirable.
Newport is the main town in the island, a place where holidaymakers staying in holiday cottages can stock up on groceries or go out for an evening. The island is so small that everywhere is accessible. There is a number of seaside resorts all around the island; Ryde, Seaview and yachting Yarmouth on the north coast, Bembridge on the east and a string of charming seaside towns such as Sandown, Yaverland, Shanklin and Ventnor in the south east.
Rural areas offer unique delights such as a garlic farm to visit, thatched villages and potteries with giant cream teas.
