Quarr Abbey, near Ryde

Quarr Abbey is a delightful Benedictine Monastary, home to a small group of Benedictine monks since 1907, and originally settled by the French monks of Solesmes, in voluntary exile from France. Prior to their arrival Quarr Abbey House was frequently visited by Queen Victoria, and her youngest daughter Beatrice honeymooned there after marrying on  the island. There have been many famous visitors over the years, including the writer Robert Graves, who mentions Quarr Abbey in 'Goodbye to all that.' Today Quarr Abbey is a thriving visitor attraction, with a magnificent apiary, tea shop, gardens, pig farm and rescue centre for former battery hens. It is also a teaching Apiary run by the Isle of Wight Beekeeper's Association which celebrated it's Centenary year in 2018.

Briddlesford Lodge Farm, Wootton Bridge

We love this place. A bustling and happy farm run by the Griffin family and home to a wonderful herd of 140 Guernsey cows. Fifteen Guernsey cows were brought across the downs to Briddlesford in 1923 and the current herd is descended from this original stock. They produce a rich creamy milk known locally as Buttercup Milk which has won many national awards. The farm has a thriving farm shop and cafe which stocks Tipsy Wight Vodka.

Yarmouth Harbour (VHF Channel 68)

Completely stunning harbour, and the first town on the Isle of Wight to be granted a Royal Charter in 1135. Yarmouth Harbour is loved by the yachting fraternity for it's friendly staff, unique mooring system (essentially you raft up next to a complete stranger and make lifelong friends), and beautiful scenery. The recently upgraded Harbour Office has a coffee shop and sells a range of island products, including Tipsy Wight. A favourite first port of call for our neighbours from France and a compelling introduction to the island for millions of European sailors.
