Discovering The Rare Wildlife Plus More At The Isle Of Wight

The Isle of Wight stands off the southern English coast, just south of Hampshire, between the English Channel and Solent. The island is rich with natural beauty and an interesting history, and Isle of Wight holidays have actually been around since the Victorian era.

The economy of the island has been kept going by tourism for many years due to its rich heritage and history. A standard Isle of Wight holiday would usually include wildlife and nature explorations, which is truly a refreshing alternative to your typical seaside resort holiday or city viewing trips.

Divided from the UK mainland by water, the Isle of Wight has an outstanding climate well suited for your vacations. Its scenery consists of various natural habitats that have long been a haven for creatures you normally won’t see in the mainland, and this is one other reason why visitors flock to this island.

The Red Squirrel is one of the rare animals you will see in the Isle of Wight. You may catch sight of this quite rarely in Scotland, but the species is virtually unknown in England and Wales. The main reason for their decline is the introduction of the grey squirrel, which takes up the same habitats but is larger and more vicious than the red. Grey squirrels haven’t been able to reach the Isle of Wight though and that is exactly why the Red Squirrels continue to thrive in this island.

It’s possible to also catch site of the rare Glanville Fritillary in the Isle of Wight. This orange and brown butterfly displays its colour in a chequered pattern, and is nearly impossible to catch a glimpse of in the UK. But this rare species still thrives in the Isle of Wight and you can catch a glimpse of them during particular moments of the year.

Various species of bats can also be seen on the isle. You can spot around 12 of 15 bat species that are found in the UK as a whole right in the Isle of Wight. For a while, bats have been a rare sight around the country, but they thrive in full force in this island. Bat walks are a good way to hear them, but seeing bats has to be done during twilight, and even then they may well not be much more than a brown blur.

Festivals, as well as walking and cycling holidays are held during certain times of the year in the Isle of Wight. Accommodations in the island range from hotels, hostels and bed and breakfast inns, and if you’re looking for an affordable yet very convenient place to stay, you should check out Gothic View.

An Isle of Wight vacation will certainly be a unique sort of experience when compared with your traditional holidays. Take a look at Isle Of Wight b&b if you want to get accommodations that truly speak of the island’s rustic glory.
