Publisher's Synopsis
The Isle of Wight is a resplendent jewel located in between the Solent and English Channel, and is isolated from the more urban environments of the South Coast. The consequence of this separate geography is a unique landscape, where historic buildings sit timeless in unchanging and unspoilt vistas, ones still familiar to our ancestors of the past. The book catalogues all the historic sites including castles, forts, manors, villas, cottage orn?, stations, lighthouses, mystic ruins, and deserted towns, thus enabling the reader to explore this intriguing history for themselves. Indeed the Island's landscape was so attractive that it became a Royal residence!
