Visiting the Isle of Wight

[PB]

How is parking for motorhomes at Isle of Wight attractions?

 

[roller747]

Most are ok but very narrow lanes to some

I always 'drive' the route and check unknown places for access (height barriers etc.) using Google Street View.

If you mean IOW attractions like Blackgang Chine, IOW Pearl, Robin Hill, Dinasour Museum, Alum Chine, Tapnell Farm, Osbourne House (phew!) these all have good parking and off fairly good wide roads. If you're looking for other things then: Ventnor, very quaint place with nice beach but very steep roads in and out, nearby the Landslip has lovely seaviews and challenging walks, good parking. Ryde town itself some narrow roads but good roads in and out, has parking along sea front and at Puckpool, nice beach. Newport once you've negotiated Coppins Bridge and the current road works fairly good roads in and out. Godshill good roads in and out and good parking but very popular place so very crowded at times. Sandown, Shanklin some narrow roads but seafront parking. Bembridge Downs lovely views a bit a of narrow windy road up but loads of parking. Inland we have some extremely narrow roads much like Cornwall but they do lead to some very pretty places off the beaten track so hiring a car is a very good idea if you want to find these sort of places. Hope that helps

The bus services are first class, lots of double deckers so you can enjoy the view, and free with a bus pass!
