Colwell Bay

Colwell Bay is situated in between the famous Needle rock and lighthouse, and the port of Yarmouth. With views across the Solent to Hurst Castle and Fort Albert, Colwell Bay is popular with families, holidaymakers, and locals who visit the gently shelving beach year in, year out; for either the traditional game of beach cricket or the regular banter with the locals. A perfect place to relax and unwind in the summer months, Colwell bay has a unique friendly appeal, just busy enough in the summer months yet not overcrowded like some of the bigger beaches on the southern side of the Isle of Wight.

IOW Coastal Path

The IOW coastal path runs right through Linstone Chine. Along this 67-mile trail are some of the most spectacular beaches in the south of England. The Coastal Path is an exhilarating walk around the island's coastline. Wander through the picturesque towns of Cowes and Yarmouth - thriving yachting ports steeped in maritime heritage. Escape into the wideopen spaces of Tennyson Down and along the deserted clifftops of South Wight.

Freshwater Bay & Village

Freshwater Bay is one of the most picturesque beaches in West Wight and lies just to the South of the town of Freshwater. The beach is covered in a mixture of grey flint and chalk pebbles that make a unique sound as the waves rise and fall onto the shore. There is sand below the low water mark and some sandy areas to sit if you walk to the more eastern side of the bay. There is also a rock ledge revealed at low tide at this side, which is great for rockpooling. Freshwater village is the main shopping area that services the West of the Isle of Wight with a number of established stores and a supermarket.

The Needles Rocks & Alum Bay

The Needles on the Isle of Wight is surely one of the most photographed groups of rocks in the world. This row of three distinctive chalk stacks features in all the classic views of the island, a truly unforgettable image - and a photographer's delight. Alum Bay is well known for its multi-coloured sand cliffs and stunning views across the Solent. Many homes around the world have a glass object filled with sand as a memento of a visit to Alum Bay and The Needles.

The Needles Old Battery

With unrivalled views of the Solent and unspoilt countryside, is the Needles Old Battery a Victorian fort built in 1862 and used throughout both World Wars. The Battery's fascinating story is told in a series of atmospheric rooms, whilst vivid cartoons by comic book artist Geoff Campion illustrate the part it played in the history of modern Britain. There are two original guns on the Parade Ground and an underground tunnel leads to a searchlight emplacement with dramatic views over the Needles rocks. A small exhibition in the underground rooms of The New Battery, further up the headland, reveals the astonishing and little-known story of Britain's Cold War 'race for space', when British-made rockets were tested here under conditions of great secrecy. A destination not to be missed.

Yarmouth

The historic port town sits at the mouth of the River Yar and contains some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight, including a 16th Century castle which is well worth a visit. The harbour at Yarmouth is always very busy with both ferries and smaller boats, and the town itself offers a good variety of things to do for visitors. The history of the town is very evident as you walk round and a trip along the Grade 2 listed pier is highly recommended for views across the Solent. Yarmouth Castle, which is tucked away to the side of the ferry dock, is also a great place for sea views and family picnics during the warmer months. There is a road bridge over the river estuary which heads out of the town, and a short distance along is Fort Victoria Country Park, a Victorian gun battery which now houses a number of local attractions.
