Traveling from London to the Isle of Wight via Train from Waterloo to Portsmouth and then the worlds last remaining commercial hovercraft across to Ryde, in the Isle of Wight .
My partner took me for a weekend in Ryde last year where we stayed in a hotel on the seafront. We went for a walk and saw the hovercraft parked up so next day we went on the hovercraft from Ryde over to Southsea and back to Ryde. It was an amazing experience! In East Kent where I have lived for 14 years now we discovered the derelict site where the hovercraft travelled between Pegwell bay and France back in the 80s. So sad this mode of travel here in Kent did not survive over ferries.
I want to thank you for this very well-made video. I needed to know more about the transport to and within the IOW, and you answered most of my questions. Well done!❤
Blimey, two hours just to get to the ferry, eh? As a Londoner myself, just going from London to Portsmouth alone would be a day out in itself from the sound of it. I'm sure I'd be too knackered to do the Isle of Wight after that 🤣. Seriously, though, thanks for the video and I probably will give it a whirl one day, well, either the Isle of Wight or at least Portsmouth.
1h 10 to Southampton and then 25 min on the red jet, takes just over 2 hours to go the Island (to Cowes) . I think he wanted to see a bit of Portsmouth first.
I’m 11 years old. Last Week my dad drove us 4 hours from Leicestershire to Portsmouth, then we had another almost one hour of ferry and driving to hotel I love IOW
I don’t really know if you can hire a boat. If your wanting to cross in your own boat you would need to be experienced, it’s quite busy and not always calm

Might go there for my birthday because i just live in Ireland so not that far ☺
*Can we drive from London all the way to that place?*

You can drive there. You will need to take the car ferry from Portsmouth or Southampton though.
