From historic sites to natural delights, music festivals and major national events, it is a unique holiday destination. NEW FOR 2026 – entrance to the delightful Godshill Model Village. 7-day tour also includes a visit to Mottistone Gardens, delightful Mediterranean-style 20th century gardens surrounding an Elizabethan manor house (See pg 24 for Isle of Wight at Easter – 4-day 3 April 2026* – itinerary varies)
