Days out to shout about
The Isle of Wight is a unique place for a great day out whatever your interests. There is an abundance of attractions to keep you entertained no matter what the weather, from Queen Victoria’s former retreat Osborne House, to family favourite Blackgang Chine.
If you want to explore the stunning scenery and perhaps spot one of the Island’s famous Red Squirrels, there are over 500 miles of footpaths and bridleways perfect for walking, cycling or horse riding, plus 60 miles of breathtaking coastline ideal for watersports. Blue flag beaches, award-winning pubs and locally sourced cuisine provide the perfect conditions for a relaxing day.
Unless you have grey fur and a bushy tail (Grey Squirrels are not allowed!), getting there has never been easier. We are offering Daily Echo readers an exclusive day trip ferry fare until 24 July for just £25 for a car and up to 6 people! You can also purchase tickets to many of the Island’s top attractions (many of which are discounted) at the same time.
Red Funnel ferry services operate from Southampton (adjacent to Town Quay) direct to East Cowes at the northern tip of the Isle of Wight. The 3 vehicle ferries run hourly during the day offering superb onboard facilities with a premium coffee outlet, licensed bar and café selling hot and cold food to enjoy. So get onboard and have a day out to shout about!
