Trip to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight

Join us for a Day Trip to Osborne House, Isle of Wight,  including ferry boat journey to the Isle of Wight and entrance to Osborne House. “It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot” said Queen Victoria of Osborne House, her palatial holiday home on the Isle of Wight..

We will enjoy the scenery as we take a journey down Southampton Water on the car ferry from Southampton to East Cowes, enjoy a leisurely walk up the hill to Osborne House and enjoy the day in the house and gardens before heading back the same way.

Children over 5 are welcome to join us on this trip, but must be able to cope with the mile long walk to and from Osborne House.

Please note, we will have a relaxed day visiting Osborne House and gardens, and the private beach, and will not be visiting anywhere else on the Isle of Wight.

Please be at the Red Funnel Ferry Ticket office, Town Quay, by 9.10am. There will be a group catching the U1C bus from Highfield Interchange at 08:29. We will then catch the ferry from Town Quay and return on the ferry arriving back in Southampton at Town Quay at 6.30pm.
