For the fit, a walk up and over National Trust’s Headon Warren for the view, then on to Alum Bay with coloured sands, amusements, and boat trips around the Needles. A short car or bus drive away, but still in West Wight, you can enjoy West Wight Alpacas, Newtown Estuary, Calbourne Mill, with many designated cycle routes throughout. Surfers and kite surfing enthusiasts will enjoy Compton Bay, plus it’s a great place to go fossil hunting and see the dinosaur footprints at low tide. Tapnell Farm Park is local and great fun for a family day out. This however only touches on what you can do on the Isle of Wight. It's best to check what's happening in the local paper, and pick up the free ferry brochure as you travel across. Further afield is Carisbrooke Castle, Robin Hill, the Dinosaur Museum, Osborne House, Ventnor Botanical Gardens (search for Steep Hill cove), the Pearl Centre and the sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes. Whatever you decide one thing’s for sure, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer. Travelling by vehicle you will need to book a car ferry to the Island. There is a National Express coach stop called PORTSMOUTH HARD for eco-sensitive travellers, then Fast-cat ferry, and an excellent bus service on the island into and out of Newport terminus.
