Written by expert author and journalist Mark Rowe, who has visited the island over 30 times since first spending childhood holidays there, it is the perfect companion to help you get the most out of your visit, replete with not just all the practical information you could need, but also all the descriptive detail, anecdote, and insider tips to make time spent there truly enjoyable and memorable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Isle of Wight is an island that is astonishingly - and unexpectedly - rich in food producers, wildlife, natural beauty, history, archaeology, and dramatic landscapes. This is all the more remarkable for it being so close to the densely populated southern edges of England. At just 25 miles x 13 miles, in no other equivalent-sized area of Britain is there such a variety of landscapes (downland, estuaries, hills, saltmarshes, meadows, riverine, beach) or such a concentration of food producers (50+ independents at the last count). Here, there is a real Island culture, a creative spirit that is quite quirky and independent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBradt's Isle of Wight includes where to go to see red squirrels, where to hire e-bikes, where to go foraging, and where is best for families. It also covers historic and present quirks, curiosities, and attractions, including Jimi Hendrix's unusual love affair with the island, a day in the life of a ferry master, tree climbing, World War II history, nighttime wildlife, the annual walk at low tide to explore the wildlife underneath Ryde's grand Victorian pier, the island's award-winning wines, and its dinosaur fossil-rich beaches - of which it has more than anywhere else in the UK! With 20 maps, including regional, walking, and cycling maps, you'll be well-equipped to explore this fascinating island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 344g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 x 198 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784777968\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Rowe,Mark Rowe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094622335226,"sku":"9781784777968","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648815063440_book.jpg?v=1648921370","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/isle-of-wight-slow-travel-9781784777968","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
