Famous Ghost Walks
Paranormal perambulations and the Newport ghost walk was started in 1994 by Marc Tuckey with guidance from Gay Baldwin the author of the ghost story books of the Isle of Wight. Marc and Gay claim the Isle of Wight to be the most haunted in the world with the ley lines covering the Isle of Wight exactly as they do at Stone Henge. You too, can experience the paranormal on one of the famous Ghost Walks.

Sail Around The Island
WAVERLEY is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. Magnificently restored with towering funnels, timber decks, gleaming varnish and brass. See and hear the mighty engines - they will provide a whiff of nostalgia for some but are sure to impress all! With regular cruises around the Island from Yarmouth Pier, it is truly an experience to remember.

Waverley Paddle Steamer
Take a Trip on a Steam Train - The Isle of Wight once boasted 54 miles of railway, most of which was closed between 1952 and 1966. However its unique atmosphere has been perfectly preserved by the largely volunteer-run Isle of Wight Steam Railway, which began operating trains in 1971. The Railway is truly a journey back in time - a living, breathing museum!

Visit The Needles
The picturesque Needles and its famous lighthouse at Alum Bay simply must be seen if you have time on the Island. Take a chair lift to the beach below with its coloured sands or watch the skilled glassblowing at Alum Bay Glass. You can even take the short walk to the Old Battery for a truly stunning view!
