Being in the English Channel, the Isle is in the perfect position for water based activities and hosts the world’s most famous sailing regatta, Cowes Week, at the beginning of August when the Solent is awash with colour and activity. The more adventurous of visitors can go kayaking in the crystal clear waters off the coast or swimming through the ancient caves that are dotted around the island. It is not all water focused and for such a small island it manages to create the impression of rural tranquillity in many places, with its pretty little villages, nature reserves and wooded areas where the rare red squirrel can be seen.
Queen Victoria died on the island at the majestic Osborne House that is now open to the public. The Victorian interior mixed with splendid gardens, extensive grounds and cricket pavilion make it a popular attraction on the island.
