Paradise Found in the UK | Motorcycle Road Trip Around the Isle of Wight | Part 2

Appuldurcombe is my favourite place in Spring when the woodland floor is covered in Bluebells.

[@tareqdb9]

Dude you were born to do this, the passion, the voice, the style the quality. Just amazing. Also big praise for monica for the beautiful camera work. 👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

That means a lot, thank you! And I've shown this to Monika too- appreciate it!🙂

[@VVoltz]

The voice, I agree. VERY inspiring

I too live here and jumped on the back of his bike for a two day tour!!!

Yay! I love watching any videos of the beautiful Island that i am blessed to call home 😊 Moved to the Island from London when my children were very little. Best thing i ever did! What a lovely way to see the island, riding around on a sunny day. This video definitely did it justice. Thank you. ❤

From someone who lives on the island it is very interesting to see your reactions to it all ! 😊

Do you know Steephill cove?

[@user-hf6ok2tj5h]

Thanks for the memories Freddie. I finally got to IOW Part 2 in January 2024! From the comments, it appears you successfully managed to pique the interest of several residents and previous visitors - Including myself. Went for family holidays in the late 1950s when I was a rambunctious 8-10 year old lad. Didn't really appreciate the lovely IOW back then but now I sure do! Cheers from Alabama

About 20 years ago i used to go over to the isle of Wight 2 or 3 times a week with work, unfortunately i was in a 44 ton truck but I really enjoyed those trips, it's a stunning place. Oh and i have also been over on a motorcycle as well, i spent a week camping .

[@bobbicrews4389]

It's videos like this that make me really appreciate the tiny Isle I was bought up on! Next time, you need to explore Osbourne House... absolutely stunning grounds that was quite literally built for a queen :)

I'll definitely revisit and see Osborne House next time!🙂

[@bobbicrews4389]

@@ryanscarrmusic2329 I mean for 1, "tiny Isle" is just a Island saying and 2, it's only 16 miles from east to west and 14 miles from north to south... It's not exactly a massive isle...

[@barrykeeto1248]

Freddie, surprised you didn’t get to visit The Needles lighthouse at alum bay which was only a mile or so from Totland where you stayed. The chairlift down to the beach is pretty unique along with the coloured sands on the cliffs. I now live in Weymouth, Dorset and the views from Abbotsbury hill and Portland heights are magnificent on a clear day. I strongly recommend you take visit if you’ve not been before.

[@gdfggggg]

Another good one. As a kid, I travelled all over Cornwall and there are some truly fantastic places in those parts. Thanks.

Very professional ! You two make a great team! Looking forward to more! Couple of pointers for your next adventure's on the Island, The Needles, The Hut, Colwell Bay, Yarmouth village, Cowes, Osbourn House, Carisbrook Castle, Newport town center, Bembridge, Sandown, & Shanklin.

You and Monika did a great job of promoting the island over those two days Freddie. Congrats on finding some hidden gems, but don't forget Steephill Cove when you come back. By the way, Appuldurcombe House is pronounced apple-dur-combe. It is the islands 'Ightham' or 'Trottiscliffe'! 😊

Awww i love this video. Fell across the 2 part iow clips and thoroughly enjoyed. Me and my family, along with all of my husbands family live here on the isle of wight and u captured some truelly beautiful gems of our island. When u return be sure to visit Shanklin chine on a sunny day and then re-visit at night to see it all lit up in multicolour. Explore devils chimney and steephill cove, along with (a must on a hot day for that tropical feel) Priory bay. So glad u fell in love with our beautiful island on ur visit and look forward to seeing an update of any returns you make in the future! Happy travels!

Loved this mini series Freddie and Monica, you need to promise yourselves to one day return to the island to watch the start of the Fastnet sailing race which is run every two years, one of the most spectacular events you'll witness, it starts at the end of Cowes week , the week long sailing festival, even if you don't sail the spectacle of all the sailing boats from small to huge is a sight to behold!

Isle of Wighter here, so nice that you had a good time. It really is a lovely place - you went past my house! I also worked at Appuldurcombe house, it is seriously haunted, sometimes at night you can hear music playing even though there is no electricity. I used to lock it up at night and said goodnight to the ghosts when it was dark. I've got some amazing pictures of orbs, but then the I.O.W is famous for being haunted.

[@FreddieDobbs]

So interesting! I only found out from a few of your fellow IOW-ers commenting on this video that it's the most haunted island on earth!

[@quizzabella]

@@FreddieDobbs It is, but nothing terrible has happened to be honest, and I've stayed at several hauneted places and seen weird stuff. Just spooky stuff. There was a ghost hunting TV series with a bonkers man who went to Appuldurcombe House and claimed to see the spirits of loads of virgins that were sacrificed there. Umm. where did he get them from? Even now Wroxall, Ventor and Godshill are pretty small.... But then he was discredited and well no-one here took it at all seriously.

[@steve1915]

I’ve never been before, I never realised how beautiful the island is, I only live an hour from Portsmouth, so it’s definitely on my to do list, time to load up my bike ! Great video, thanks for uploading 👍🏼

[@marcusrichardson3472]

Fabulous film again. If you want another adventure get over to Kerry in SW Ireland and do the Wild Atlantic Way. Give yourselves 5 days. The travel days are easy enough - just London to Fishguard in Wales for the ferry, then a short hop cross country in Ireland to get started. It's not too expensive and the roads are gorgeous and empty during the day. With your filming you'll capture it in ways most people fail to do.

[@FreddieDobbs]

[@suegermaine5730]

Saw this because of IOW as my family and I are all going there in August. I think what people should know the water from the mainland to the island is the most expensive bit of water anywhere in the world. I am 67 and disabled for me and my car in August return journey was just under £200 for the ferry. By the time we added on my families cars it was just under £700 for three cars just to cross over to the island. None of us have ever been to the IOW but are really looking forward to it as it will be my first holiday since I fractured my spine in 2008. It was a lovely video and just to let you know the cottage we have rented for the week for the 8 of us is also thatched.

[@MeTube3]

Most accommodation providers on the Isle of Wight include the crossing in the price or they book your ferry using their trade price access. I’ve never paid anything near £200, most ever was £135 return for car and four people when I had to travel at peak time. So less than £35 per passenger.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks so much for sharing the Sue!

[@suegermaine5730]

@@MeTube3 unfortunately Andrew our accommodation does not help with the crossing cost as that was the first thing I asked because I know some can get discount. The only discount I received was £10 for being disabled.

[@MeTube3]

@@suegermaine5730 your accommodation might want to check out the travel trade / agents / affiliates plans offered by the ferry operators. Then they can offer ferry discounts to their guests.

[@suegermaine5730]

@@MeTube3 I am not certain but we rented through Sykes Cottages and believe the property is owned by The National Trust; well the cottage is in the middle of the land they own. It has managers who live on site some reviewers call them the owner some say the NT but until we get there I don’t know. I cannot understand why a bridge or tunnel has never been built because the Ferry owners certainly have the monopoly on prices especially during the height of the holiday season. I honestly think because of Covid they have definitely hiked up their prices compared to last year when we were suppose to go on this holiday. We had to hold it over to this year because of Iockdown. I remember looking at the prices last year and for me and my car in August was around £130 return. I was absolutely staggered at the prices for this year. The cottage for a week for 8 is £3,000 plus the ferry charges it is going to make it a very expensive holiday. Nevertheless we are all looking forward to it and all the videos and books I have read it sounds the perfect place for me to take all my family on. Especially my three grandchildren as this will be their first holiday.
