Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, so a waterproof layer is worth packing. British islands range from low chalk and sandstone to rugged sea cliffs cut by glacial erosion. The Isle of Wight has vehicle ferries from Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton, plus a foot service, a reminder that reaching Britain's islands by sea is part of the journey.
