After so many episodes of ‘The Crown’ we thought we’d visit Osbourne House. This involved a water taxi to cowes. Then a 45 minute walk to the entrance. The house only had the ground floor open to the public, but quite spectacular in its own way. Then a trek down to the beach where we had a picnic. Rested and fed we next went to the walled garden, developed by Prince Albert. As with most setups these days to get out you’re channelled through the shop but we resisted and managed to come out with only an ice cream each.
A long walk back to Cowes. My feet were hurting by then. With 2 hours to kill We crossed to West Cowes and did more preambulating before returning to the boat on the water taxi.
17000 steps May not seem that much to some people but it was quite enough for me in one day.
