The places we like…
Here are some of the places we like to go, stuff we like to do & ideas for places to eat.
Have a fantastic time up a tree with our friends at Goodleaf Tree Climbing
Spend a day at Osborne House, visit Swiss Cottage for the great interactive children’s display then walk on down to the beach for an ice cream
Take a walk on the beach at Yaverland (with or without the dog) – see if you can find any dinosaur fossils
Find a beautiful private garden to visit using the National Garden Scheme Yellow Book. Any admission goes to charity and sometimes they have lovely cakes too!
Tapnell Farm in the West Wight is a fantastic place to take the children with a jumping pillow, indoor zip wire and climbing wall.
If you are looking for somewhere different to stay on the Island how about a bit of luxury at Woodside?
Cheverton Copse holiday park is a lovely spot for a family stay.

Getting around…
