A charity sanctuary for rescued exotic animals, set inside a Victorian fort opposite Sandown's Yaverland beach.
The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, formerly the Isle of Wight Zoo, is a charity that rescues and protects exotic animals. It sits on Yaverland Road in Sandown, directly opposite the beach, inside the shell of Sandown Fort, which dates from 1864. Visitors walk round the enclosures to see rescued big cats, bears and lemurs, among other animals.
Tip: Pay for parking at the machine just outside the café, as the car park next to the sanctuary is privately run and the sanctuary can't appeal fines.
Sat nav: PO38 2HN
The UK's oldest theme park, with life-sized dinosaurs, pirate ships and clifftop sea views on the Isle of Wight.
Blackgang Chine opened in 1843 and is the UK's oldest theme park. It covers over 40 acres of cliff-top gardens and themed lands, with outdoor rides, walkthrough attractions and heritage exhibitions, all with views over the Isle of Wight coast.
Tip: Leave bikes and scooters behind, as the paths are steep and uneven. Standard tickets include free returns for up to seven days, so you needn't rush.
Sat nav: PO36 0LX
A rainforest-themed zoo on the Isle of Wight with anteaters, sloths and free-flying tropical birds.
Amazon World is a zoo on the Isle of Wight built around the animals of the Amazon rainforest. The collection is mostly South American, with giant anteaters, ocelots, armadillos, sloths, capybara and tapirs. Tropical birds fly freely through the rainforest above your head, there are crocodiles to count in the pond, and the lemurs like to sunbathe and play.

Step into Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's private seaside family home on the Isle of Wight.
Osborne House in East Cowes was built between 1845 and 1851 as a summer home and rural retreat for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Albert designed it in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. Inside you can explore the State Rooms, the more homely Family Rooms and the Royal Collection, including the famous Durbar Room, decorated with gifts Victoria received on her jubilees.
Tip: Book early to save up to 15%. Arriving by bus, train or bicycle also gets you 20% off entry when you show your ticket or bike helmet.

Ride restored Victorian and Edwardian steam carriages through 5½ miles of Isle of Wight countryside.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage line running through about 5½ miles of countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton, calling at Havenstreet, where the station, headquarters and depot are. It is run largely by volunteers, and the carriages include restored examples built between 1864 and 1924. Several steam locomotives are in use, some well over 100 years old.
Tip: The railway doesn't run every day, so check its calendar before you go. A direct bus serves Havenstreet from Newport and Ryde.
Sat nav: PO30 1XY
A Norman fortress on the Isle of Wight where Charles I was held prisoner and donkeys still work the treadwheel.
Carisbrooke Castle is a historic motte-and-bailey fortress near Newport on the Isle of Wight. It began as an Anglo-Saxon earthwork defence against Viking raids, and the Normans later raised the shell keep on its towering mound. You can climb the keep for views, and walk the walls.
Sat nav: PO40 9TB
A Tudor fortress at the end of a shingle spit, with views across to the Isle of Wight.
Hurst Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII at the seaward end of Hurst Spit, a long strip of shingle in Hampshire. It guarded the narrow western entrance to the Solent, and the setting feels properly remote, with the sea on both sides and the Isle of Wight just across the water.
Tip: Head up the Tudor keep to the roof for the best views over the Needles Passage to the Isle of Wight.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Excellent accommodation was surprised to find a washing machine which came in handy. Would have benefited from having a hoover and a mob.
We stayed in a gorgeous caravan that was super well-equipped, making our stay really comfortable. The staff were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if we needed anything, which was great. Our caravan was tucked away in a peaceful spot with lovely views, away from the busy areas, so it was just what we wanted. The kids loved the swimming pool, which was perfect for them, even if we didnt use much else since we went out every day. Were already planning to come back!
We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed and we even enjoyed a BBQ one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Wed definitely come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely break!
We had a lovely stay! The place was spotless, super comfy and the hot tub was a real highlight.
We stayed at this place recently and honestly, its a good place. The house is super well stocked and kept us cosy despite the rainy December weather. The bath was so relaxing and the shower was big enough for two! The location is perfect if your dogs arent fans of fireworks - totally peaceful out in the middle of nowhere. Wed definitely come back, thanks so much!
The owners really went above and beyond. We had such a chilled out stay, totally relaxing. Would definitely tell our friends!
We had a lovely stay at this place, nestled in a quiet, private spot thats just perfect for relaxing. The owners are genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they respect your privacy completely. The hot tub was a great bonus after a long day of cycling - really helped us unwind! Only thing to note is that the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but its worth considering if youre sensitive to noise. All in all, a great little getaway!
We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and the cottage itself is really cosy with a great hot tub - perfect after those scorching days, especially since the water was nicely cooled. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming; it was nice to see their horses being taken out each day. Being close to Stansteds flight path was actually quite interesting, watching the planes land. All in all, wed definitely recommend for a relaxing break!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The rural setting is just gorgeous and the courtyard with its slate is lovely. The hot-tub made it feel super special. Perfect for country walks too!
We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cosy cottage. The owners are really friendly and helpful but not intrusive at all, which we appreciated.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage, tucked away on a working farm but surprisingly private. The hosts, Robert and Sharon, couldnt be nicer and made us feel really welcome. The place itself is super spacious with all the kitchen gadgets you could need and a comfy bed thats perfect for a good sleep. The garden is great-completely dog-proof and nicely furnished, ideal for relaxing outside. Theres plenty of walking nearby and Thaxteds restaurants, like The Star and The Maypole, are worth checking out. Wed definitely recommend it!
This cottage is honestly a gem. The setting is so peaceful, perfect for unwinding. We loved the hot tub - absolute highlight! The place was spotless and had all the bits we needed. Plenty of walks nearby, made our break really special. Highly recommend!
Basic but clean. The children enjoyed football on the sports area in the evenings.
Enjoyed everything
Great site and facilities. Friendly staff and good location. Sadly the outdoor pool was shut for a few days.
Value for money in context is based on the unreasonable hike (double in this case) that all holiday companies seem to levy on parents at school holidays.
Good base for holiday on the island
Had a great time ... fabulous weather and newish caravan for 2 plus dog
It's was lovely holiday
It's was lovely near beach ??
Brilliant place to have a family holiday. Great location
