Day 4 - Full day to Alum Bay, the Needles & Yarmouth

  • We journey across the island to Alum Bay, famous for its coloured sands. Nearby are the magnificent chalk Needles, the remains of a ridge which once joined the island to the mainland. We return via Yarmouth which is located on the North West of the Isle of Wight.

Day 5 - Osborne House & Whippingham Church

  • “It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot” said Queen Victoria of her beloved home on the Isle of Wight. Spectacular from the outside, the opulent interiors give you a glimpse into life at a royal palace where Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their nine children made a home. The splendid State Rooms, intimate family rooms, private beach and magnificent gardens and grounds combine for a truly memorable day out. We will also call at charming St Mildred’s Church in Whippingham – a place of worship since Norman times and regularly visited by Queen Victoria when she was in residence on the island.

  • Sitting proudly at the very heart of the Diamond Isle, Carisbrooke Castle has many stories to tell from its past as a military fortress, a King’s prison and Royal summer residence.
