There are just hours to go before voting closes in a national competition, that could see the Isle of Wight crowned the UK’s Holiday Destination of the Year.
Voting in the nationwide competition organised by Countryfile Magazine closes at just before midnight tonight (Friday).
Last year, local and national support saw the Island claim 2 top awards – Village of the Year for Bembridge and Beach of the Year for Sandown Bay. Now, with our help, this year could see the Isle of Wight win Holiday Destination of the Year.
The Island is up against some tough competition from Anglesey, Essex, the Severn Valley and Orkney, with a very narrow margin of votes separating them.
Visit Isle of Wight is calling on Islanders and its thousands of visitors to get behind the Island and vote for it to lift the crown as holiday destination of the year.
Will Myles, Managing Director of Visit Isle of Wight, says:
“We’re down to the last few hours where you can make a difference and make the Isle of Wight the UK Holiday Destination of the Year. We all know it is, we just need to get our friends and family to vote to make sure we get that recognition.
“It’s the last few hours that we’re able to do that, voting finishes midnight Friday 28th so don’t delay, vote today!”

Have you seen the state of Appley beach Ryde since the council stopped removing the shingle a few years ago. A beautiful Sandy beach ruined. Who will want to vote for that mess.or visit that beach. Daft council.
Yet the ‘odd’ in society are being well cared for, with more paid helpers taking them horse riding, days out, sauna’s, gym’s etc.
The ‘normal’ who work and pay in get cut backs, those who only ‘take’ from society get more, despite these joeys getting disability, free car and parking spaces etc.
Being a white working person, means you are now ‘nothing’ in society, but fear not, in a very few years, such will become a minority, then perhaps we can claim something back
Watch the goal post move ‘then’.
