Located on the north-west of the Island, Yarmouth is a historic port town complete with a 16th-century castle. It’s one of the prettier routes to travel to the Isle of Wight, as visitors have to travel through the New Forest before reaching the car ferry in Lymington.
In the town of Yarmouth itself, you will find a range of boutique shops and eateries that are very popular, especially during the summer months. Take a wander along the Grade II listed pier for some outstanding views across the Solent, where you will find local fishermen casting their lines off the end.
The mouth of the River Yar starts in Yarmouth and provides some beautiful walks and cycle routes through the stunning countryside. With its excellent travel links, Yarmouth is the perfect base for your holiday on the West Wight.
Southern Vectis bus route 7 serves Yarmouth on its way between Newport and Alum Bay. In the Summer, the open-top bus "Needles Breezer" and the tourist services "Island Coaster" and "Summer Links" serve Yarmouth.
Travellers to and from Lymington are served by Wightlink's vehicle ferry service.
