The crossing to Yarmouth from Lymington on the mainland is among the most scenic you could wish for, with the journey accompanied for much of the way by reed beds and – always – striking views of the Needles and Tennyson Down. As you approach our island, look to port (east) and you’ll notice a forested coastline that invites exploration.
The hinterland just to the east of Yarmouth is unlike anywhere else in the Isle of Wight. This is a world of creeks, muddy inlets, unvisited coast, wildlife-rich woodlands and tucked away hamlets. It can feel like a slice of our island that time forgot, appreciated only by those in the know.
