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.
Regular ferry services to the island run from Southampton, Portsmouth, and Lymington.
