Osborne House ( 166.47 miles away)
Member Review :
Visitor Rating :
The interiors of Osborne House abound with opulence in both architectural design and decoration. Marble sculptures, commissioned by Victoria and Albert, line the classically designed Grand Corridor of the house and recall the royal couple's love of the arts. Portraits and frescos adorn the walls, serving as a reminder of the family's links to the crowned heads of Europe, and of the unrivalled supremacy of the British Empire. Family photographs on the desks of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert... [more]

You can also visit the Freemantle Gate (part of the 1770s neo-Classical additions to the estate) on the nearby public footpath, and the adjacent Falconry Centre (not managed by English... [more]

Carisbrooke Castle ( 168.25 miles away)
Member Review :
Visitor Rating : 
With its keep, battlements and working well house, Carisbrooke Castle is an exciting site for the whole family to explore. There has been a fortress here since at least Saxon times, but the present castle was built on this site in c. 1100, when the island was granted to the de Redvers family.
When the Spanish Armada passed alarmingly close in 1588, Carisbrooke became enormously significant for the defence of the realm. It was suspected that the Spanish might attempt to seize... [more]

The Needles Park ( 161.67 miles away)
Member Review :
Visitor Rating :
The Needles is a row of distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, England, close to Alum Bay. A lighthouse has stood at the western end of the formation since 1859. The formation takes its name from a needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife that used to stand in its midst until it collapsed in a storm in 1764. The remaining rocks are all short and squat and not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.
