Day 3 – Discovering the Isle of Wight’s greatest treasures
Today, you experience a panoramic island tour, taking in some of
the Isle of Wight's best attractions. Beginning at the cliffs
overlooking the area's white 'needles', these striking formations
are an iconic sight of the Isle of Wight, with distinctive stacks
of chalk rising out of the sea. Your group then heads to Yarmouth
to admire the views from its charming harbour. Bursting with
history, explore the cobbled streets lined with quaint shops and
cafés, and the main square, overlooked by the town's church. Later,
the coach takes you to visit historic Carisbrooke Castle. This
English Heritage site is famous for serving as a royal prison to
Charles I during the civil war, and today it's the location of the
Edwardian-style Princess Beatrice Garden. You end the day at
picturesque Godshill, a quintessentially English village with
historic architecture. There's time at leisure to discover its
thatched buildings, Medieval church and even its own model village,
with scale models of Shanklin and Godshill villages as they were in
the 1920s.
