Cowes Holidays

If you enjoy your UK holidays with a difference, you'll find it at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. If sailing's your thing, take your UK holiday during Cowes Week, one of the UK’s longest-running and most-successful sports events, and enjoy up to 40 daily races for thousands of boats. The biggest regatta of its kind in the world, Cowes Week features 8,500 competitors and more than 100,000 spectators. In August, the Commodores' Cup mixes inshore racing on The Solent with an offshore around the Isle of Wight. Then in June, the Isle of Wight sees professional and amateur sailors, including celebrities, compete in Round the Island race. For your UK holiday this year, why not catch some sailing. Cowes is convenient for the ferry and has a wide selection of holiday lodges, holiday parks and holiday cottages.

The Isle of Wight is only 23 miles by 13, but it offers a great UK holiday, with plenty to do. In fact, Cowes and the Isle of Wight holidays offer 60 attractions plus more than 500 miles of footpaths and bridleways. On a UK holiday to Cowes, you'll also find large stretches of downland and some great beaches. Stay in one of the Isle of Wight's many holiday lodges, holiday parks or holiday cottages and enjoy theme parks like Blackgang Chine or the Needles Park, with its famous spectacular chairlift. For a less scary day out, how about St Catherine's Lighthouse or Robin Hill Country Park, with theme-park rides plus 88 acres of beautiful walks?
