About Thorness Bay

Situated on the north side of the Isle of Wight, Thorness Bay is spread across glorious countryside, offering the opportunity to get back to nature with spectacular views over the Solent: just one part of what makes this park so special.

The park is packed full of fun for everyone and there’s even a private bay for when you need a little break from it all. Join the kids for a splash in the swimming pool, play on the sports courts, or let them run wild in the adventure playground. After a busy day, enjoy a tasty evening meal, with stunning views across the Solent, at The Boathouse Bar & Restaurant and fabulous live entertainment, or grab a takeaway and have a cosy night in.

Once Thorness Bay’s quiet woodland surroundings and epic sea views have you feeling refreshed and renewed, it’s time to get exploring! Cowes, the small port town, just a short drive away, is world-famous for its sailing and water sports, but it also has unique shops and one of the nation’s finest historic homes, Osborne House. Other must-see attractions include the exceptional Isle of Wight Steam Railway and the Needles, a series of beautiful limestone landmarks on the island’s western shore.

"Wow, we had such a great stay! The lodge was even better than we thought - honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The walk-in wardrobes in both rooms were a real treat and having TVs in all the bedrooms was such a nice touch. The loft space was a bonus too! The only thing was the double bed mattress was a bit smaller than the frame, but it didn't ruin our trip at all. Weve definitely been spoiled now and will be booking lodges more often!"

"We had a great time overall, just wish some places were open so we could explore more. Definitely recommend!"

"Overall, our stay was really enjoyable. The location is fantastic and the setting perfect for relaxing. Only minor issues like a leaking kettle and door handle, but they were sorted swiftly. Would definitely return!"

"Our Thorness Bay review: We stayed in this caravan recently and found it quite cosy, though a bit smaller than we expected. If you're a bigger group, you might find the single beds and narrow walkways a bit tight. The bed was surprisingly comfy-felt like a newer memory foam mattress, which was a nice touch. The caravan looked just like the photos, but sadly, there was no fireplace as shown. The shower could do with a bit of a clean and the radiator was a bit rusty, but overall, its a decent place. For the price we paid, it was pretty average, so we're happy with that. The only downside was the on-site parking-theres not enough space for all the caravans and chalets, so we had to park quite a walk away most nights. Still, we enjoyed our stay!"

"The caravan was spotless and had everything we needed, but the bed was quite firm and the shower head was a bit temperamental."

The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, formerly the Isle of Wight Zoo, is a charity that rescues and protects exotic animals. It sits on Yaverland Road in Sandown, directly opposite the beach, inside the shell of Sandown Fort, which dates from 1864. Visitors walk round the enclosures to see rescued big cats, bears and lemurs, among other animals.

Tip: Pay for parking at the machine just outside the café, as the car park next to the sanctuary is privately run and the sanctuary can't appeal fines.

The collection is mostly South American, with giant anteaters, ocelots, armadillos, sloths, capybara and tapirs. Tropical birds fly freely through the rainforest above your head, there are crocodiles to count in the pond, and the lemurs like to sunbathe and play.

Castle 10 min drive · 5.4 miles

Sat nav: PO30 1XY

A Norman fortress on the Isle of Wight where Charles I was held prisoner and donkeys still work the treadwheel.

  • Families
Read more

Carisbrooke Castle is a historic motte-and-bailey fortress near Newport on the Isle of Wight. It began as an Anglo-Saxon earthwork defence against Viking raids, and the Normans later raised the shell keep on its towering mound. You can climb the keep for views, and walk the walls.

Heritage railway 17 min drive · 9.1 miles

Isle of Wight Steam Railway

Sat nav: PO33 4DS

Ride restored Victorian and Edwardian steam carriages through 5½ miles of Isle of Wight countryside.

  • Rainy days
Read more

The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage line running through about 5½ miles of countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton, calling at Havenstreet, where the station, headquarters and depot are. It is run largely by volunteers, and the carriages include restored examples built between 1864 and 1924. Several steam locomotives are in use, some well over 100 years old.

Tip: The railway doesn't run every day, so check its calendar before you go. A direct bus serves Havenstreet from Newport and Ryde.

Coastal castle 23 min drive · 11 miles

Hurst Castle

Sat nav: PO40 9TB

A Tudor fortress at the end of a shingle spit, with views across to the Isle of Wight.

  • Families
  • Couples
Read more

Hurst Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII at the seaward end of Hurst Spit, a long strip of shingle in Hampshire. It guarded the narrow western entrance to the Solent, and the setting feels properly remote, with the sea on both sides and the Isle of Wight just across the water.

Tip: Head up the Tudor keep to the roof for the best views over the Needles Passage to the Isle of Wight.
