Treasure Island - The Great Isle of Wight Treasure Hunt.

If you're lost for ideas of what to do with the kids these school holidays then how about a Treasure Hunt ? The Great Isle of Wight Treasure Hunt is a Castle and Kings themed mystery tour through an especially beautiful and historic part of the Isle, with a scattering of clues to solve related to the places you will visit en route. It's everything you need; entertaining, educational and even exciting as it requires a short sea trip to get there!

Holiday In Wales Despite its name Cowes, your first port of call, has nothing to do with bovines, and everything to do with bowlines. Every August it stages the world's premier sailing regatta, when ruddy-cheeked young things gather to race their yachts, splice the mainbrace and party till the cows come home. It's a rollicking sort of town all year round, a hive of youthful exuberance, with live music tumbling out of the pubs along the jaunty main drag, and a general buzz of boaty activity on Town Quay.

Mainland UK, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands (please note that we do not deliver Furniture to the Channel Islands).

Holiday Wales Completing the Treasure Hunt entails finding the answers to a dozen questions - some of them mildly cryptic, but nothing that should give you brain-ache. Just bear in mind that all the questions have a nautical connection! The trail involves about 25 miles of driving (or cycling, if you're feeling fit!), plus a bit of gentle strolling here and there. Sensible shoes and a basic road map of the Island should be enough to keep you on the right track. I recommend using the trail as a focus for a leisurely day out - or even a fun weekend break.

Isle of Wight ISLE OF WIGHT The Isle of Wight is the perfect place to enjoy a short break, at any time of the year. This stunning island boasts unspoilt scenery, fascinating attractions and world class events. For the energetic, there activities like walking, cycling and watersports. And for those who prefer to unwind and explore, there's so much to discover.. . .
