Re your comment about the inmates of Sandown Zoo being taken for walks on Culver Beach at Yaverland, I grew up on the Island and regularly saw the Zoo's owner taking tiger cubs for a walk and swim on the beach. It's true. The tiger cubs had the time of their lives on that beach. They were on a strong lead though, and we did watch from the safety of the car.
A lovely video. Years ago I used to go cycling round the Island regularly and Ventnor was one of my favourite places to stop off for a swim in the sea and some food, happy days!!
Just love your video of the Isle of Wight we used to go there years ago when the children were small we were in there 10 years on the run just love the island so much to do and say no I’m retired and not in good health I don’t think I’ll get there anymore but it’s lovely to watch other people doing it and enjoying their selves,some more if possible many thanks.

I was born on the Island & lived here all my life and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else to be perfectly honest. Whilst I love my travelling up & down the UK and all over the great USA each year, I'm always ready to head home to the beautiful Isle of Wight after a while. I wouldn't move away from the IOW to one of these huge & hectic & multi cultural cities on the mainland if you paid me quite frankly. I live in central Newport, right over the road from the main entrance/main field where the world famous IOW music festival is held each year (I walk my dog in those very fields each & every day). Being as we're so close to all the festival action, we get 2 free festival tickets per household each year along our road as it's all closed off & a one way traffic system is in place. At times those walls certainly shake a bit depending on who is playing, but overall it's always a good weekend. Sure, the IOW probably isn't for everyone in terms of our much slower pace of life etc compared to some big cities, but I suppose it's where you are from & what you are used to. Me, for instance, after a while, that hectic lifestyle when I'm away in the huge major cities, I get fed up with that quite quickly and I definitely couldn't live like that, that's for sure.
I'm from Argentina but my great grandfather and his family before him are from the Island! I find myself wanting to visit more than ever, hopefully maybe live over there for some time to find out more about my roots. Such a beautiful place!!!
@@annie.phoenix if you ever do visit IOW, then feel free to get in touch with me and you could come and say hi - I would happily show you around our beautiful Island. All the best 👍
There was a Island family that held business interests in Argentina/ Uruguay and they owned a big house in Sandown. The house was converted to a hotel known as The Broadway Park and the grounds became Los Altos Park. I don’t know the full story but the owner was George Wilkinson Drabble who came from Sheffield I think. Type Los Altos Isle of Wight into Google.

I don’t know what your surname is but it’s possible you may be a descendant or of a family that was connected to one of his Argentinian businesses.
@@doveronefoxtrot4417 No sadly the line gets shorter and having ridden it last week 17 Jun 2019 at its shorter length it is gotten so bouncy it feels like it might derail, I got more seasick than on any ship. The rail sadly feels like it needs attention.
I might add, the Island Line stops and terminates at Shanklin, the two extra stations (Wroxall and ventnor) closed in 1966.

wonderfull your video is great for non drivers going to the island ,thank you!!
Fantastic video. Well done! We really loved it.
Nice outfit! You look fit and healthy. Good coverage for an overlander.
Great video loved it
Don't forget there is a steam rail experience on the island. Now shown in a stand at the Ryde ferry station, so stop and take a look.
That was great👍
I'm from Wales and want to move to the Isle of Wight
It's such a fantastic , special place.
wow.... it is great
It has some figure, but check, that it is the place where the highest number of people enjoy living there
6:22 that is Shanklin old village lol
Not Godshill @ 6.30 Doris, that's Shanklin old village !
she drove thru shanklin, as you saw the old thatched tearoom which is pink, but straight after is godshill
@@dougfresh1980 Good spot .....
True ! but her timings are very poor ! Also she states that further along the line, the train stops at ventnor. Not for many a year it hasn't !

@@doveronefoxtrot4417 The editors timing is poor, get it right before assigning blame, on what is not really wrong.
Is the train line free from fastcat terminal or you need to buy ticket?
We bought a ticket.
