EXCURSION
A visit to what was once Queen Victoria’s much loved palatial seaside home, Osbourne House. We visit the private apartments and state rooms as well as the beautiful gardens and Queen Victoria’s beach.
We enjoy a circular tour of the island, which boasts 60 miles of spectacular coastline and stunning scenery, affording plenty of magnificent views. We start our day in the historic port town of Yarmouth which is home to the oldest architecture on the island, including a 16th century castle, and has a grade-2 listed pier. We continue on to the Needles Park, which boasts fabulous ocean views and is home to the iconic chairlift, which operates from the cliff-top of Alum Bay down to the beach below where we can see the Needles Rocks and coloured sands. We then continue our journey to St Catherine’s lighthouse.
We will enjoy a journey on the award-winning Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Settling back for on our leisurely 5-mile journey, we travel on two stretches of line, starting at Havenstreet Station from where we travel to Smallbrook Junction. From here we enjoy a return trip to Havenstreet, where we embark on the next stage of the journey to Wootton. Before returning again to Havenstreet. In the afternoon we spend time at leisure in Sandown.
