The Needles, Victorian seaside towns and dinosaur beaches, a short ferry from the mainland.
The Isle of Wight is England in miniature, half an hour by ferry from Southampton or Portsmouth. The chalk stacks of the Needles guard its western tip, Queen Victoria’s Osborne House looks out over the Solent, the south coast has dinosaur fossils and sandy bays, and Ventnor climbs its cliff in terraces. A coastal path and quiet lanes go all the way round.
