The Isle of Wight, located slightly off the south coast of England, is the biggest island of England and is separated by a strait from the mainland. The Island was in earlier times known as Hampshire and has a populace of close to 125,000 inhabitants making it the most densely populated constituency in the UK. The Isle is only easy to get to by ferry and has over 350 crossings each day thus it?s quite easy to travel to the Isle and once there it?s even easier.
The island became an independent county in 1890. It was documented as a postal county in 1974 and has a single member of parliament. The Romans were among the initial people to occupy the island and it was at one time residence to Queen Victoria and Alfred Lord ? a poet. The Isle is currently served by two airlines and has a railway line, buses and taxis.
