Newport was not dominated by a shopping mall, and there was a good variety of shops. There were some pleasant open spaces. The bus service to other towns on the Isle of Wight were good. However, the public toilets had not been cleaned for quite a long time.

There is plenty to see around Newport Isle of Wight. There is the Owl and Monkey Haven with a good cafe and play area. Butterfly World is fun for all ages a cafe there as well. Busy Bee garden centre has lots to see over several floors and an excellent cafe with very friendly helpful staff. Chris rook Castle has plenty of history but best to go on a dry day. Newport itself has plenty of shops but if you want something a little different then Cowes is the place to go. If you are self catering then there are all the usual supermarkets. Quarr Abbey is a lovely place and the history behind it is well worth finding out. Again a fantastic cafe.

This is the county town of the Isle of Wight and, as such, has all the facilities you need. We based ourselves in Newport because we toured the island by bus and IoW has one of the best bus services in the UK. Most buses are double-deckers (go upstairs and see everything as you travel) and all routes round the island start from Newport. Newport remains vibrant despite troubled times for the retail and hospitality industry. Plenty of pubs, cafes (for afternoon tea), restaurants and shops. Not the prettiest of places, but you have the rest of the island to explore if you want "pretty".

Lovely little town, many really old buildings, well worth looking up as many town centre shops have fascinating and old upper floors. Beautiful little harbour with an Arts Centre by the river. Pleasant park (Litton) with clean toilets but unfortunately non working hand washing facilities in both male and female toilets. Attractive Sixth Form College formally the Technical Institute and an old Board School next door. St. James Church, immediately pe-Victoria, well worth a visit as are the old Guildhall and Museum. Interesting Roman Villa

Almost situated in the centre of the Isle of Wight, making access to all parts easier by car or bus. We ate locally at the Chinese Cafe Bar on the High Street, and (twice) at an Italian restaurant on Holyrood Street. Being a natural hub does mean that the traffic can be quite difficult during rush hours.
