The Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight is an area of outstanding natural beauty which provides a fantastic quality of life, access to a diverse range of sporting and leisure activities, very accessible property prices, low crime rates and a richness of culture that is hard to beat. The vibrant island is one of the sunniest places in the UK and comes alive in the summer with the Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival and Cowes Week. With frequent and convenient transport links by sea and rail to the mainland, it really is the best of both worlds.
