We've got theme parks and amusements, historic castles and houses and for animal lovers there's a tiger sanctuary, a falconry centre, adventure parks with exotic animals and a donkey sanctuary.

For the older age groups, there are water sport centres, horse-riding schools and dozens of well-kept cycling tracks. And with the Isle of Wight Music Festival and Bestival, we've two of the world's greatest music festivals - huge events that welcomed the likes of REM, Faithless, Coldplay, Prodigy, Foo Fighters, Muse and the Stereophonics.

For added peace of mind, our holiday parks and many of the larger hotels and family pubs are well geared-up for families. There are establishments who provide baby listening, smoke-free areas and children/healthy menus - in addition to our own organic ice cream!
