Isle of Wight Travel Guide - Historic Houses

This listing concentrates primarily on historic houses, manors, and stately homes. The Isle of Wight also boasts a fascinating array of other Historic Buildings, from windmills to military structures.

 Appuldurcombe House
  

18th century Baroque house approached via a long private drive. Appuldurcombe sits in gardens designed by Capability Brown. The house is sadly little more than a shell, but you can admire the wonderful architecture and enjoy the 11 acre gardens. Displays tell the story of the house, and there is a falconry centre on the site.

 Osborne House
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

Osborne House Italianate house designed 1845-1850 by Prince Albert as a retreat for himself and Queen Victoria. A grieving Victoria had the house preserved exactly as it was when Albert died in 1861. Watch for crowds; this is one of the most heavily visited houses in Britain.
