The '''Isle of Wight''' is an island and administrative [[county]] off the south coast of [[England]]. It is a popular destination for tourists, having good beaches, [[chalk]] cliffs and impressive coastal scenery. Principal towns on the island include Cowes, Newport and Ryde. The island is bounded by the [[English Channel]] to the south and the [[Solent]] to the north. Though there have been recent proposals for an Isle of Wight bridge, residents have so far strenuously resisted attempts to join the Isle to the English mainland.
