After departures, we travel south to board our ferry to the Isle of Wight, arriving at our hotel this afternoon.<br />
We enjoy a full-day tour of the Isle of Wight. Our stops include visits to Newport, the island's 'capital' town and Ryde, a quirky mix of long sandy beaches and a thriving, independent shopping scene. Our final stop today is the traditional village of Godshill, which boasts some of the island's oldest architecture and is a well-known model village.<br /><br />
This morning's excursions see us visit the nearby Alum Bay and the Needles, a famous rock formation with lots to see, including a Victorian fort. This afternoon, you're free to enjoy the superb facilities back in our resort. With indoor heated swimming pools, onsite leisure facilities and a daily activity and entertainment schedule, you'll find plenty of ways to relax beside the Solent.
After enjoying a leisurely morning enjoying the best that Norton Grange has to offer, we visit the sailing capital of Cowes this afternoon. Home to a lively marina and seafront promenade, enjoy the sights of this elegant resort, exploring boutique shopping and the town's ornate architecture.
We begin the journey home.
