Worth A Read – article on the Isle of Wight in the Weekend Telegraph
Expansive views on Week Down (walk 27, Walk! The Isle of Wight)
There’s a good article on the Isle Of Wight in ‘Coastal England’, a supplement with yesterday’s (15 March 2014) Weekend Telegraph.
Looking towards Whitecliff Bay from the clifftop path (Walk 40, Walk! The Isle of Wight)
The article homes in on the rich history of the island and offers plenty of ideas of things to do. For such a small place it has a wealth of festivals, including the Isle of Wight Walking Festival.

In the space that allows, it’s a decent piece on the Island (have gone every year since 1968). The simple coastal walk from Ryde to Seaview is lovely. Brading is worth a visit – but its fabulous waxworks museum has gone in recent years. The Seaview Hotel – which never fails to appear in newspaper reviews about the IOW _ is a shadow of its former self and, in our opinion, doesn’t deserve a mention anymore. The Hambrough and Priory Bay do however.

Since 1968! Then I think you could justifiably be considered an expert on the place! Your note about the Seaview Hotel made me smile – as it seems the same info is often pulled out time and again for certain stock articles (lazy reporting?). Thank you for your enlightening comments – appreciated!

Quite possibly with the Seaview. The island isn’t exactly packed with great eateries/hotels but that’s no excuse to keep dredging up the place!
