Isle of Wight

[KittyGlitter]

I'm thinking of going on a day trip - what do people recommend in a short space of time? Not interested in aquariums or theme parks - more interested in scenic views, walks or museums. Thanks

if you're not taking your car, both of the passenger ferry operators advertise special offers - http://www.hovertravel.co.uk/ and click "attractions"

if you're taking your car, the above might give you some ideas.

Osborne House is well worth a visit. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert spent a lot of time there.

I agree with VHG. Osborne House is well worth a visit.
