Places to Visit from your Isle of Wight Festival Accommodation
With the festival site being based just outside of Newport, you’ll be right at the heart of the island with loads of amazing places to explore once the music stops.
One nearby place that’s well worth visiting is Ryde, located just a 20-minute drive from Newport. Known for its long stretch of sandy beach and bustling esplanade, it’s a great place to unwind after a day of dancing. You’ll also find plenty of great spots to eat, drink and shop, as well as the famous Ryde Pier, the oldest in the UK.
On the other hand, spending some time exploring Newport itself is a great idea too. As the island’s county town, it’s full of independent shops, cafés and cosy pubs. The town centre is just a short walk from the festival grounds, so it’s ideal for grabbing a bite to eat or picking up some late-night snacks before heading back.
