Why Do They Call The Isle Of Wight The Garden Isle?

By: artavia.seo-27115 Home | Travel-and-Leisure | Cruises-Boating


I love to travel. My favorite places to go are places that are beautiful and have great shopping. Living in London, the Isle of Wight is a great getaway. The Isle of Wight is quite possibly one of the prettiest places I have ever been. There are 146 square miles of coastline that make up the island. When you are there you will most likely see people wind surfing, kite surfing, mountain biking, and even paragliding. Basically, everyone is just enjoying the islands beauty. And, when you want a break from relaxing you can go to Newport, the Island's capital where the main shopping center is. I consider it a perfect holiday.

If you did not know already, the Isle of Wight has been known for many years as "The Garden Isle." People call it this because it has a warm climate, a friendly atmosphere, an unspoiled coastline, stunning scenery and an abundance of gardens to visit. It is literally the jewel of England, which makes it fitting that it is shaped like a diamond. When you visit, you will experience a diverse geography. In the north there is a lot of clay; in the south, there is a lot of sand.

There are three rivers that flow through the natural beauty of the island. All of the rivers flow from south to north. The Medina, The Eastern Yar, and the Western Yar are wonderful parts of the island. They connect the different attractions of the island. If you were to travel on one of them you would possibly see beech woods, conifer forests, grazing land, wide, sandy beaches, sheer chalk cliffs, rocky coves, creeks, and estuaries. Imagine, all that incredible beauty and geography on one small island. It really is no wonder that the island is famous for being "The Garden Isle".

When you are there you will love to see the plants and vegetation that contribute to the different natural wonders. There are so many different beautiful things to look at. It is definitely a fun place to take walks and explore. You will probably want to take a lot of pictures and document your experience. Do not be surprised if it feels a little bit surreal. There really is no other place in England like it. Enjoy every moment that you have to spend in the area. Relax on the beautiful beaches and enjoy the amazing gardens. They really are breathtaking. If you have not booked your trip yet, book it today.
