ON THE MAINLAND

Those travelling by car from London can take the A3 all the way to Portsmouth. Those coming from the West can travel to the ports of Lymington or Southampton. To find the best route, have a look at the RAC Route Planner

Those using Public Transport may find these links useful.

TRANS-SOLENT

There are a variety of crossings, but visitors from London are most likely to use the Portsmouth/Southsea to Ryde routes. Those travelling by train will be using the Wightlink Fast Cat service and those bringing a car over to the Island will use the Wightlink service from Porstmouth to Fishbourne.

Those travelling by car but leaving it on the mainland will find the Hovertravel service convenient as there are good parking facilities near the Southsea Hoverterminal.

Those coming from the West can take either the Lymington to Yarmouth Wightlink service or the Red Funnel Southampton to Cowes route. The Red Funnel passenger service takes travellers into West Cowes, whereas the Red Funnel car ferry service docks at East Cowes.

ON THE ISLAND

Those intrepid enough to have brought their car over from the North Island can find directions on how to get from the ferry terminals to the village of Seaview by clicking here. Please note this page is from the Seaview Hotel website.
