ISLE GO How to do an Isle of Wight holiday with Hols from £9.50 – with white sandy beaches and £2.50 steam trainsThe sands on Alum Bay Beach are pretty specialTHE Isle of Wight is just a short ferry ride from Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better spot to stay than Parkdean Resorts’ Lower Hyde Holiday Park, on the east coast of the island. It is surrounded by trees and has its own swimming pool with a slide. But if you’re really into wildlife you may want to stay at Parkdean’s Thorness Bay resort which is close to Newtown Nature Reserve. Here’s what’s going on nearby . . . FUN FOR UNDER A FIVER: Kids can visit the Haven Falconry Bird Of Prey Centre for a fiver, but better still they can ride the Isle of Wight Steam Railway from here for just £2.50 per child and £3.50 per adult (see haven-falconry.co.uk). CHEAP EATS AND DRINKS: The family-run Blueberry’s Cafe (blueberryscafeiow. co.uk) on the east coast of the island is great for breakfast, lunch, waffles and ice cream, especially on a sunny day when you can eat at a table on the grass outside and admire the view.
