The 20 best things to do on the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight caters for everyone. I speak from personal experience; I first visited as a child, then as a lover of wildlife and walking, good food and drink and latterly as a parent of young, then older children. The island has excellent conventional attractions and does a fantastic job of interpreting its ancient and wartime history, as well as its relationship with the sea. In many ways, though, the great outdoors is the main event, and your best memories may well be of wandering along a beach and stumbling upon a fossil or spotting a red squirrel in a woodland. All our recommendations below have been hand selected and tested by our destination expert to help you discover the best things to do on the Isle of Wight. Find out more below, or for more Isle of Wight inspiration, see our guides to its best hotels restaurants, bars and pubs, and beaches. Find things to do by type: Best for royalty and history Best for families Best for museum lovers Best for foodies Best for walkers Best for nature lovers Best for seaside Victoriana Best for royalty and history Osborne House Discover Queen Victoria's 'little paradise' Osborne House was where Queen Victoria was most amused, describing it as her 'little paradise'. Built in Italianate style and set among lawns edged by veteran oaks and yews, sumptuous state rooms and opulently furnished corridors are warmed by personal touches such as marble sculptures cast from moulds of plaster of limbs of the couple's children. Insider tip: The attractive shingle beach behind the house is easily missed and on the way you will see the bathing machine – it brings to mind a cowboy's wagon – where Queen Victoria got changed before she took to the water.

The Angel Hotel, Bury St Edmunds review
THE Angel is a gorgeous ivy-clad Georgian hotel in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. But what are the rooms like and what's the best thing on the menu? 2 Where is the hotel? The hotel sits at the heart of the historic town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, so all the main sights are within easy walking distance. The train station is a five-minute taxi ride away or less than 20 minutes on foot. What is the hotel like? The Angel offers gorgeous interiors and a fantastic central location. Its imposing historic exterior belies its contemporary, chic boutique hotel interior. Expect pop art and vintage furniture alongside huge comfy leather sofas and velvet banquettes in the spacious lounge, plus a bustling restaurant and bar. What is there to do at The Angel hotel? You're in the perfect spot to explore with the abbey gardens and independent shops all nearby. Definitely worth a few hours is a tour of Green e King's Westgate Brewery, where ales have been created for more than 200 years. Tours cost £20 and include a five-ale taster. What is there to eat and drink there? The Eaterie restaurant's menu aims to shine a light on local producers, with classic British dishes. We loved the Pickwick Pie, stuffed full of steak in a rich ale sauce. The Sunday roasts at around £20 a head are also worth a try. What are the rooms like at the hotel? The rooms are classic but contemporary with some quirky touches. Splash out on one of the Ivy Copper rooms and you are rewarded with views of the Abbey Gardens, as well as a free-standing copper bath. Our room featured a vast marble bathroom. The eclectic style was a winner for me, with an antique desk alongside a feathered floor lamp. The bed was huge and comfy. Classic rooms from £117 including breakfast, Ivy Copper rooms from £440 in October. Is it family friendly? It may not be the best choice for those with young kids, although extra zed beds and sofa beds can be added for £10 per child, per night. Cots can also be added to rooms for £10 per night. A kids breakfast costs £5. Is there access for guests with disabilities? Yes, there are some accessible rooms. There is also a flatter entrance at the side of the hotel or guests can request for the ramp to be laid down. Looking for a place to stay? For more hotel inspiration click here. 2
