Henley Regatta does it for me.

As a native of the Isle of Wight (well until I was 7 years old) I can thoroughly endorse Briony’s comments about the island being a rather special holiday destination.
My recommendations: Cowes during Cowes Week (mingle with the yachties); Yarmouth for its charming harbour and nice pubs; Tennyson Down for a bracing walk and stunning views in every direction (plus a rewarding view of the Needles at the western extremity); Freshwater will be your start and endpoint for the Downs walk, so treat yourself to a visit to Freshwater Bay before you move on; Compton Bay to get your windsurfer out on the water; St Catherine’s Point to check out the lighthouse and have a pint at the Buddle Inn before and after; Ventnor to plan which house you would love to own. And I haven’t even mentioned the interior of the island….

My favourite place to go in Britain in summer is the Edinburgh Festival. It’s totally crazy but great fun…
