Just a motorcoach ride from Cowes, the Brading Roman Villa is one of the finest Roman sites in the United Kingdom. An award-winning visitor center and museum offer brilliant insights into Roman times in Britain, from beautifully-preserved mosaic floors to an extensive collection of Roman archaeological remains. On the site overlooking Sandown Bay, follow your expert guide through the exhibits. (S)he will bring the Roman era to life for you, so you gain a good impression of the life and times of 'the other Empire'.
Next, continue to Sandown, located on the southern coast of the Isle of Wight. Sandown boasts a traditional British seafront and pier, and is famed for its long, golden stretch of sandy beach. Enjoy some free time to stroll on the beach and purchase an ice cream if you wish (at your own expense). You may want to try your luck at the amusements along the pier before the journey back to Cowes.
Please note: Wear sturdy walking shoes.
