by June Elford and Steve Gascoigne

At its closest point the Isle of Wight lies less than a mile from England's bustling south coast. However, the separation afforded by this tiny stretch of water, coupled with a fascinating history, distinct geology and infamous characters, gives this tranquil island a unique ambience all of its own. Feature writer June Elford and photographer Steve Gasgoigne both know the Island in all of its moods. Steve's superb photography and June's highly informative text combine to create a vivid, colourful portrait of this diamond-shaped island, a true Gem of the Solent.
