Early Season Isle of Wight
With its naturally milder climes, more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the UK and the evocation of escapism as you cross the Solent on the ferry, its not hard to understand why the Isle of Wight has been a popular holiday destination since the Victorian times. With its landmark attractions, varied terrains, quaint villages, country pubs and gastro experiences, the Isle of Wight is a hub of activity all year round with something to offer people from all walks of life.
Victorian history is very important to the Isle of Wight with Queen Victorias palatial holiday residence, Osborne House being a main attraction. Surprisingly homely despite the grand rooms, the Italianate house and gardens was designed by Prince Albert as retreat for the royal couple, the house is left as though Victoria and Albert were still in residence. Osborne House is more than just a house - it is an estate with miles of public footpaths that will lead you to places such as the Swiss Cottage and Queen Victorias private beach, complete with the queens personal bathing machine.
The Ventnor Botanic Gardens, although built in 1970, took a lot of inspiration from the Victorian era in particular the curvilinear conservatories of the Tropical House which is accessible through a derelict mine shaft opening up into tropical heat. The Garden lies in the remarkable microclimate at the heart of the famous Undercliff and boasts an impressive collection of over 30,000 rare and sub-tropical plants and trees, not to mention a collection of very contented wall lizards.
Carisbrooke Castle is located in the heart of the island and is steeped in history and legend since pre-Roman times. Whether you are a history buff or a photography enthusiast, this quintessentially romantic heritage landmark will delight its visitors with spectacular views, donkey-led demonstrations and beautiful gardens.
