Isle of Wight Postal Museum
About
Isle of Wight Postal Museum, on Isle of Wight, occupies 408 Fairlee Rd in Newport, the island's principal town.
First-time visitors should expect a compact, collection-led museum rather than a large modern gallery, with the exhibits focused on postal history. Fourteen reviewers have left it a 4.6 out of 5 average, a small but strong sample.
Newport sits centrally on the island, and the other main towns — Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth — are all within a short drive or bus ride. The museum's website, http://www.postalmuseum.co.uk/, carries the visiting details.
Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, so a crossing booked for the middle of the day is a safer bet. Wet and windy spells can arrive in any month on British islands, so a waterproof layer is worth packing whatever the forecast.
