Paul McCartney recently confirmed what we all already ‘knew’ … the Beatles hit Ticket To Ride was inspired by a trip to Ryde made by Macca and John Lennon in the early sixties.

This quirky fact is just one part of the story of the Isle of Wight’s largest town.

It’s a fantastic place that combines shopping centres, nights out, golden sands and creative hearts - making it a great holiday destination.

The late Oscar-winning film director Anthony Minghella grew up in the town and journalist and author Philip Norman is also a Ryde boy.

This gateway to the East Wight has excellent connections to the mainland and is a super entry point to the rest of the Island so if you are about to Say Yes to the Isle of Wight, don’t forget to set aside some time for your Ticket to Ryde!

Wotton Creek

Highlight • Viewpoint

This pretty tidal inlet is a lovely sight right next to the busy road in Wotton Bridge. It takes you far away from the hustle and bustle of the cars and shops. The Wightlink Ferry to Portsmouth leaves from the far end of Wotton Creek.

Osborne House

Highlight • Monument

English Heritage property: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/osborne
House can be very busy. English Heritage say the quietest times are before 1100 and after 1400.
Lovely grounds.
We did not purchase the guide book at the house and definitely felt we would have liked more information. The guide people in the house were very helpful though and generally knowledgeable.
Grounds lovely and plenty of space to stretch your legs.
Book up early and save 10%. Up to 0845 on the day you intend to visit.
