This expert-curated guide book shines a spotlight on the Isle of Wight as an unusual British break destination, with a wealth of practical information on what to see and do. Fully updated post-COVID-19, it explores every area and neighbourhood in depth, from Cowes and Newport to Ryde, the dramatic coastlines, and charming spots like Yarmouth and Brighstone to Alum Bay. You'll find detailed coverage of points of interest, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars throughout, plus excursions to surrounding areas for those looking to enjoy a longer stay.

Inside, you'll discover recommendations for every type of traveller—whether you're seeking off-the-beaten-track adventures in Cowes, family activities in child-friendly Ventnor, or chilled-out breaks in popular Yarmouth. Time-saving itineraries cover top attractions like The Needles and Tennyson Down alongside hidden gems such as Robin Hill Country Park and Brading Roman Villa. Day-trip suggestions to Freshwater Bay and Bonchurch tell you why to go, how to get there, and what to see when you arrive.

Written with Rough Guides' trademark blend of humour, honesty and expertise, this compact guide features a fresh magazine-style layout with inspirational colour photography and colour-coded maps throughout. Packed with pertinent practical information on getting to and around the island, tourist information, festivals and events, plus an A-Z directory, it's the perfect companion for exploring everything from Shanklin Old Village to the island's stunning coastline. A free eBook download is included with every purchase, letting you access all the content from your phone or tablet for on-the-road exploration.
