The Isle of Wight has recently been voted the UK’s second best Island by
Trip Advisor and had a great write up in Olive magazine for its gastronomic
delights. Discover what else the Isle of Wight has been hiding other than great
beaches and Cowes Week.
It has been a
literary magnet for hundreds of years
Many great names have come to the Isle of Wight for its
tranquillity and beauty. Charles Dickens
wrote David Copperfield while he was
staying in Bonchurch; Darwin wrote the
first chapter of his Origin of Species
while holidaying in Sandown; Tennyson moved here for a number of years and
Keats and D H Lawrence both found inspiration while visiting the island. And although not a writer, the real Warrior,
the horse the Germans could not kill, lived and exercised on Brook Beach on the
Isle of Wight.
