Includes Cowes Cruise & Mottistone Gardens
The Isle Of Wight is always a popular destination, as with a leisurely cruise from Lymington, it feels like you’re abroad without all the hassle! Our tour is based in the quaint village of Shanklin, and with plenty of outside space to enjoy, this original coaching inn is the perfect base, just a few minutes walk to the esplanade.
Mottistone Gardens are owned by The National Trust and are set in a sheltered valley. The colourful herbaceous borders, shrub filled banks and hidden pathways are full of surprises with a Mediterranean style planting to take advantage of the warm, southerly location. We will include a stop at Alum Bay where you can see the colourful sands and the famous Needles, one of the most photographed groups of rocks in the world.
Cowes is famous for hosting the Regatta, and we have included a cruise with live commentary around the harbour. You will also have time to explore the town with it’s quirky shops, bustling harbour and wonderful views of The Solent before we continue back to the hotel.
With a free day to explore Shanklin with it’s thatched cottages, cliff-lift and busy high street, or stroll along the sea-front to Sandown and remember the good-old-days of the island’s heyday.
