the Island boasts award winning beaches,
unspoilt and spectacular scenery and a rich
historical heritage.

More than half the Island is an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, with over 500 miles
of award-winning public foot paths and
bridleways and almost 30 miles of the
seashore has been designated as Heritage Coast.
