Cowes Tips
Osborne House.
Although built in palatial Victorian splendour, Queen Victoria’s home by the sea is a family home with Royal Apartments, nurseries, royal bathrooms and the richly decorated Indian Dunbar Room to explore. Horse and carriage rides are available in the grounds which also house hot houses and a Victorian walled garden. Restaurant and café. - Carol
Cowes is all about the Sea. Originally a small fishing village the town now has an East and West part and has grown up the hill overlooking the port and marina. A bustling town at the best of times it goes collectively mad during Cowes Week in August when the cream of British Yahcting Society drops by. Just outside the town stands Osborne House - beloved home of Queen Victoria and the palce of her death in 1801 - Nige
