Day 2 Steam train and Newport One of the best kept secrets on the Isle of Wight is its steam railways.

Day 3 Ventnor Gardens and Needles Only a short trip from the hotel lies Ventnor Botanic Gardens, situated in the remarkable microclimate at the heart of the famous ‘Undercliff.’ This unique garden is protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk down and is unrivalled for its collections of subtropical plants grown unprotected out of doors.

Enjoy a leisurely morning exploring the gardens before hugging the coast to Alum Bay.

From east to west across West Wight runs a chalk downland ridge that ends at the Needles, a row of three chalk stacks off the Isle of Wight’s most westerly point. Rising 30 m (98 ft) out of the English Channel.

Board the short boat trip to enjoy panoramic views of Alum Bay, hear of shipwrecks in the area and discover the origins of the needles with the informative live commentary.
