DIRECTIONS Yarmouth is accessed via the ferry from Lymington www.wightlink.co.uk or is well-signed from nearby local towns. The High Street extends to the west of the Town and can be accessed from the A3054 Newport-Yarmouth Road to the west. The property stands on the seaward side.
YARMOUTH Yarmouth is a picturesque port situated at the western end of the Island on the beautiful River Yar estuary, a popular sailing and wildlife centre. The town has a long history, the castle being built by Henry VIII in 1547 as a coastal defence. Within the centre of the town there are many shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs and hotels. The Michelian Star chef Robert Thomspon is now Head Chef at the Geroge Hotel. The local primary school, The Royal Solent Yacht Club, Yarmouth Sailing Club, pier and harbour with its car ferry connection to Lymington (35 minutes) are all conveniently nearby.
THE ISLE OF WIGHT The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. There are now many more facilities than once was the case, Sainsburys, Tesco, M&S and now Waitrose all now have a presence as have other national chains. Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton and Portsmouth with direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore. Government-funded schools are numerous and independent schools thrive on the Island with some children attending prep and public schools on the mainland including Horlde Wallhampton near Lymington. Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports, rugby, football (Newport Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
