The Friendly Isle of Wight - England
Coach Tours - 8 Days

Tour Highlights
• Whippingham Church • Arreton Barns Craft Village • Godshill • The Needles • Alum Bay • Yarmouth

With its lovely sweeping bay and miles of golden sandy beaches, it’s easy to see why Sandown is such a traditional holiday favourite. Retaining much of its Victorian atmosphere, the resort has a pier, seaside cafes, and lovely walks by the sea wall to neighbouring Shanklin and along the cliffs to Culver Down for panoramic views of the Channel. Inland the pace is relaxed and unhurried, but with many holiday attractions. Find peace and quiet, and peace of mind, on this unique holiday island.
