There is a lot to enjoy when you visit the Isle of Wight, whether you are there just overnight, a couple of weeks or longer. Enjoy the sailing boats watching from the harbour, go fossil hunting along the beaches, spend a day by the pool, explore Carisbrooke castle, smell the amazing flowers in one of the many parks. Whatever you enjoy doing you can find it there. It takes a short 40-minute ferry ride to get there and often that can be a great fun part of the holiday. While there are a good number of inns, bed and breakfasts, cottages, and hotels and such to stay, another option is one of the great Isle of Wight holiday parks. On the Isle of Wight, there are four such parks run by Parkdean Resorts. Here we explore the one in Shanklin, Landguard.
