i used to visit family at portsmouth and regularly visited the isle of wight,we travelled there by catamaran,it was a choice of that or hover craft.

once setting foot on the island it felt like another world,it was stunning and so picturesque,it reminded me of a picture on a postcard and i found it to be the most peacefull place ive ever come accross almost heavenly,it has clifftops where you can view the beech below and lookout for miles,there is a train that takes you to all the different places on the island,which was so handy as we would spend the whole day there.shanklin will always be my favourite really enjoy it there.

there are quaint little shops and tea rooms all over the island where you can get refreshments while looking at the stunning scenery.and the water is so clean and clear,with its sandy beeches.

there is also a huge amount of history which is soon apparent while traveling round,we came accross a roman village which still has a villa where they have unearthed a mosaic tiled floor and found lots of relics from roman times.

the isle of wight is a place i would like to retire to and enjoy the surroundings a my leisure as im sure there are loads more places there im yet to visit and enjoy the splendour of.
