About Isle of Wight

The almost diamond shaped Isle of Wight is located off the south coast of England and covers an area of about 150 square miles.

The Isle of Wight is a great holiday destination, whatever the season and features everything from historic sites to natural delights, perfect if you’re looking for an adventure trip or just a quiet relaxing break away from normal life.

The Isle of Wight is extremely well connected to mainland Britain with numerous vehicle and passenger ferry crossings available. There are literally hundreds of sailings, year round, arriving and departing from many of the famous island spots such as Cowes on the central north coast and Ryde on the north east coast.

The ferries are operated by a range of companies, creating competition which helps the price stay relatively low. As the Isle of Wight isn't far from the mainland, all crossings take under an hour too.
