Should YOU Visit The Isle of Wight?

The Isle of Wight is an island off the south coast of England. It’s known for its beaches and seafront promenades such as sandy Shanklin Beach and south-facing Ventnor Beach, which is dotted with vintage beach huts. I check out the best places to visit, Where to stay and other highlights inc . . The Needles are 3 huge, white chalk rocks, guarded by a 19th-century lighthouse.
Osborne House, Shanklin Chine, Freshwater Bay, The Needles Old Battery, Godshill and so much more!

Okay, I have been thinking about posting this, and now seems a good time. I am not in a position to travel, and I haven't found a lot of travel videos all that interesting, I guess. However, I can't get enough of YOUR videos. I watch them all the way through, and I learn so much about what is out there. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. Thank you for taking me traveling with you. I can't wait to see where you take me to next.

When we went to The Needles it was wet and windy. Just after we came up on the chairlift it was shut. I was convinced my six year old daughters wellington boot was going to fall off.

[@jasonyoung7705]

As somebody from the north east of England, may I just say that the most important thing about the Isle of wight... Is the Rainbow Chippy But I do have another memory. My friend and I were touring the 3 towns on the south east, probably Shanklin, we had stopped for an iced lolly. we sat beside a minature golf course, where a 3 year old lass was having a day out with her 4 grandparents. this kid swung the golf club, not even looking, and the ball shot down the green, bounced off three sides, and scored a hole in one. My pal and i cheered, the grandparents cheered, passing seagulls did a Mexican wave. All while the girl looked bewildered. it was adorable.

[@lloydmorganmoore7810]

We lived on the Isle of Wight for 3 years and I still miss the place! We had a nice thatched cottage in Shanklin Old Village (very near the Chine!) and I loved sitting in the bath with the window open listening to the sea. Sadly the job market there is terrible, we had to move to retain decent jobs.

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

How wonderful that you did get to live there for a while.

[@lucybenton7341]

As someone who lives on the Island, you've done us proud. Thank you 🙂

I've never been. Where would you recommend to see and do at top of the list?

[@darrenedwards6538]

Really !! It’s not much of an island tour ! Alum baby is fantastic missed so much off & his accommodation well you can go abroad for two weeks for that price with guaranteed sunshine he got to colwell bay didn’t mention they don’t like dogs & totally missed totland bay also missed priory bay !! R even Yarmouth where I stayed last year was great , you can’t do iow in 30mins on a wkend ,I’ve been going 40 yrs & still find something different !

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

My Ashmore ( Ashmere) family sailed from the Isle of Wight on, “The ship Ark and the pinnace Dove, set sail from Cowes, Isle of Wight, England on November 22, 1633.” Landed in Maryland. I lived in Maryland for a number of years and did not know it at the time. So much rich history there. Sadly, I’ll never be able to return there to Maryland or The Isle to investigate.

[@CheshireCat6639]

I watch another vlogger..he did IOW behind the façade...omg I was Shocked !...some real grot spots, so sad to see😟

[@stevezodiac491]

you need to get further afield. Go to the Highlands of Scotland on the West coast, that is beauty. Not this horrible over commercialised, grotty in some places and snotty in others, dreary, car park, of an island

[@azuregiant9258]

@@stevezodiac491 I live in Cumbria, this is where my family is from born and bred, so know what beauty is. Unfortunately, I have never been to the Isle of Wight, so can’t give a first hand account, only through watching videos such as Tim’s can I imagine the beauty. After reading your comment I gather you have a firsthand experience with the Isle of Wight? If what you say is true, that is a shame.

I've never been to the Isle of Wight, but this has put it on my list. What a beautiful place.

[@34toony77]

I grew up here, born and raised. This is surreal for me, its nice to see someone seeing my place from a tourist lens. Local lens you see this place quite differently, also Shanklin chine is now closed, dont think theyve opened it.

[@FancyMcDancy]

There's no indication of a closure on their website.

[@isabellind1292]

Lucky you! It's is absolutely stunning! It would be a beautiful place to be in any kind of weather! There are so many different sights that only enhance it's charm and that miniature village is just beautiful! No wonder Queen Victoria had a home on the Isle of Wight.

[@lindavis224]

That's a shame 😒

[@azuregiant9258]

I’d love to see the Isle of Wight through the lens of a local. It’s interesting to see both perspectives.

[@PrinceFluffy]

Spent my early years in the 60's holidaying on the IOW, mainly in Sandown....the Browns golf centre and boating lake with their fresh cream cakes and just along a bit the Zoo, you never mentioned Blackgang Chine or the coloured sand at Alum Bay, we used to get the train from London to Portsmouth and go across on the ferry and ride the old stock London underground trains down the pier, I went on one of the first hovercrafts from Southsea across to the IOW, great times ....

[@chandlerbingbong]

Tim doing what he does best - Vlogging the the British seaside. 🍦🍦

[@FancyMcDancy]

I was born on the Island and have returned many times. There SO much more to see than is shown in this video; the whole interior of the island, the north west cost, Ryde, Bembridge etc. And Carisbrooke Castle of course. We need another visit!

[@antrava]

As someone who visits the island regularly this is a great video. Haven Hall is a fantastic place I've been lucky enough to stay there a few times. Yes it's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for in life. The owners are great people, with the right balance of engaging and chatting if you want or completely leaving you to your own devices for privacy. It's their refurbished amazing dream home and they're happy to share it with you (and yes for a fair price helps keep up the maintenance of this lovely residence). If you want a high-end relaxing peaceful holiday in an amazing location on the Isle of Wight this is the spot.

[@jillcox6685]

Living on the South coast, I have often visited the Isle of wight. A tiny island with so much! You obviously enjoyed your trip, but you have only scratched the surface of what this island has to offer all visitors!

Being from Edinburgh, I visited the Isle of Wight just once, in my late teens, when I stayed with my uncle in Portsmouth for a few nights. I got the boat over on my own....wandered around Cowes for an hour, then jumped back on the boat to go back. I just went to say I'd been there lol

Thank god i realized something wasnt quite right so i turned about and ran dowhill burnt feet and all and found mum and dad.Never forgotten that, guess i was lucky but even so i livedthe isle of white so it was lovely seeing it through your video video.

Shanklin Chine at night is a must when illuminated as its magical. So many lovely places to visit there. Blackgang Chine theme park is cool, Thumps would love it! You should defo do a ghost video over there as its the most haunted place in in the UK. I can say this as had a few spooky experiences there myself. Thanks for posting this 😊

As a Kid I used to love the Brading Wax Works (now sadly closed) and Blackgang Chine, which is slowly being eroded. The only thing I don’t like about the Island is the cost to get there. Over £100 return for a car on peak days
