Join us on a day trip to the Isle of Wight this summer as we travel via luxury coach, our journey includes all coach travel and return ferry crossings, ensuring a hassle-free, memorable experience.

Needles
A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We will start our journey with a visit to the iconic Needles Attraction Centre, where breath taking views and adventurous activities await.

The Needles:- Since Victorian times visitors have been attracted to Alum Bay to marvel at its geological wonders. At the time access to the beach was via a path through the Chine. Now visitors like to take the Chairlift for an exhilarating ride offering spectacular views of the coloured cliffs, The Needles Rocks and Lighthouse which takes you down onto the beach.

For a close-up view of the Needles Rocks and Lighthouse and panoramic views of the coloured Alum Bay cliffs, take one of the pleasure boats from the jetty for a dramatic trip around the landmarks. Choose between a 20-minute slow cruise to take in the stunning scenery at a leisurely pace, or opt for a 15-minute fast trip on the high-speed rib boat. Whichever one you choose, you’re guaranteed a breathtaking Isle of Wight experience. (Weather permitting).

Both the chairlift, boat trip and other activities will incur additional cost

Shanklin
Next stop we will unwind in the charming seaside town of Shanklin, with its picturesque beaches, cosy cafes and bars. Shanklin is a traditional seaside town located on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight. Nestled in the bay between Sandown and Ventnor, Shanklin regularly tops the charts for the number of sunshine hours

Shanklin Chine
For those who wish to visit this natural beauty and wonder. Carved by Mother Nature’s own hands over thousands of years, the stunning tree lined gorge that is Shanklin Chine cuts its mark from Shanklin Old Village to the sandy beach and Esplanade, far below.

Shanklin Chine is a haven for wildlife. The steep sides and flowing water provide a mini sanctuary for mammals, birds and insects alike. Enjoy a cup of tea or piece of cake in the onsite tearoom, where you may be lucky enough to have a friendly visitor join you.

We thought we could meet at Premier Inn (The Papermill) Loudwater on London Road, HP10 9YL at 9.45am with the idea of starting off at 10am. It is about a 2 hour drive. Lawrence in the group says he will drive and that he can take 3 others and Morgan & I can take one other with us & our daughter who is 15. I believe we may already have our extra passenger but please text me on 07948 417416 so I can send you Lawrence's number if you would like to come with us in his car. If there are any other people who would like to go and would not mind driving and taking others, please let me know.

This event is ok to bring children too. We will also bring Darcy our Bichon as she loves to run around the beach. We understand this beach is dog friendly. We could bring a picnic or eat at the cafe restaurant/bar.

With one of the area's best beaches and home of the UK's second longest pier, Walton charms visitors of all ages. From beach activities to countryside walks, Walton has it all. Gently shelving beaches provide an ideal location for a day by the sea. Nearby shopping and entertainment facilities ensure there is always something going on.
The beautiful Naze cliffs and National Nature Reserve nearby provide the perfect opportunity for walking and bird watching. Gaze across Hamford Water and watch yachts enter and leave the marina whilst in the background the large vessels sail towards the Port of Harwich.
