Holiday Parks in Cowes

Cowes sits right on the northern tip of the Isle of Wight, the entry point for many visiting from the mainland. Cowes is famous for its yachting and power boat racing and Cowes week, in fact there are several major yachting and boating events, primarily in the summer when Cowes really comes alive and it is such a stunning location to watch some of the best yachting in the world.

Cowes has a number of good sized holiday parks nearby and a couple of rural campsites that are just a short drive from Cowes.  These include parks in Cowes with caravans, lodges, glamping, touring pitches and camping with great facilities including swimming pools and full entertainment packages. There are also smaller parks that are more rural in their setting with a more peaceful and relaxing ambience. A great choice if you are looking for a Cowes holiday park and a great base to explore the area.

If you are coming to Cowes, you simply have to go to Osborne House, the home of Queen Victoria and her favoured residence. This is Victorian Britain at its best and heavily influenced by Prince Albert in design and art. It is a truly stunning piece of history with amazing gardens to explore and a must visit place. Cowes is not the place for a beach holiday but there are several beaches nearby including Gurnard Beach and Thorness Bay beach. The beaches in this area tend to be shingle and pebbles but there are sandy beaches a short drive away, Osborne beach is probably the best but pretty small.
