LOCATION:
Cowes, known for hosting the world’s oldest and largest sailing regatta, is a prime destination for sailors during the summer months. This vibrant town, along with its "twin" East Cowes, located just across the Medina estuary and accessible by chain ferry, offers a rich tapestry of history and culture. Wander through the bustling streets of Cowes, where you’ll find a mix of independent shops and renowned yachting clothing stores. Relax at a pavement café, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, or sip on a refreshing drink as you watch the sunset over the Solent. The town is dotted with excellent pubs and restaurants that provide a perfect setting for evening dining. Take a short trip across the water to East Cowes via the chain ferry, where you can explore Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s seaside residence. Stroll along the private beach, admire the walled garden, and visit the Swiss Cottage. It's an ideal spot for families, as well as for those who simply wish to wander and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Both sides of the Medina are brimming with cultural attractions, including museums, events, and galleries. The influence of Prince Albert's ornate designs can also be seen in the architecture of many local buildings.
