Isle of Wight Rated 14th Best in UK: Trip Advisor

Proof that the Isle of Wight is still loved by travellers comes today with the latest “Trip Advisor Travelers’ Choice Awards”.

The Isle of Wight was rated 14th in the Top 25 Destinations in the United Kingdom chosen by Europeans.

The Travelers’ Choice Awards are made each year, with Ediburgh hitting the top spot this year.

The blurb for the Island says

The Isle of Wight is the perfect place to enjoy some peace, quiet and natural beauty. Except perhaps in the summer, when the Isle of Wight Festival draws visitors from all over the world. In 1970, the Festival was the largest rock-music event ever held. It was called Britain’s Woodstock and featured Jimi Hendrix and The Who. (Not so much peace or quiet that week.) The island is also known for its world-famous sailing and lovely resorts, where people have been vacationing since Victorian times.

See who else made it onto the list.
