The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England,

and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who

had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous

for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful

coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles;

spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. Sainsburys,

Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Lidl and Aldi all now have a

presence as have many other national chains.

Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car

ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast

catamarans have connections via Southampton and

Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can

be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore.

Government-funded schools are numerous and independent

schools (Ryde School & Priory School) thrive on the Island

with some children attending prep and public schools on the

mainland. Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding,

paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing

and other water sports, rugby, football, cricket and golf

clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to the shopping

centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays,

Portsmouth.
