On the #IsleOfWight, we stayed on the grounds of #OsbornHouse, which has self-catered accommodation available. The main house was once the residence on the #Island of #QueenVictoria but is now owned by #EnglishHeritage. The grounds are immaculately maintained and are open to the public but as resident guests, we were able to access the site outside normal visiting hours.

The grounds are very tranquil and ideals for strolls.

Zooming in, you can even make out the #SpinakerTower in #Portsmouth.

This path leads north from the main house towards the #Solent.

At the northern bank, which faces onto the #Solent, used the be a recreational area for Victoria and her family. Thankfully, now the general public can access it.
