The Isle of Wight is a holiday island just off the south coast of England and a very pleasant place to live. The terrain is gently hilly, most of it grassy meadows or farmland. Hundreds of paths and trails cross the countryside and travel along the coast. It is a walker's paradise. The main towns in the Isle of Wight are shown below.
