IoW day7: Cowes Go Moo!


Saturdays are days of madness, stay clear of any shopping districts I tell myself – specially when your on holiday…

So what did I do? Went to Cowes!

The Wikipedia entry says;

Cowes, sometimes referred to as West Cowes, is an English seaport town and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, an island south of Southampton. Cowes is located on the west bank of the estuary of the River Medina facing the smaller town of East Cowes on the east Bank. The two towns are linked by the Cowes Floating Bridge, a chain ferry.

… and goes on to say…

Cowes Castle is home to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The town gives its name to the world’s oldest regular regatta, Cowes Week, which occurs annually in the first week of August. Later on in the summer, powerboat races are held.

Plenty of yachts, almost as many as Yarmouth! Needless to say Cowes certainly is the place if you need some trendy sea going clothing…

Not many pictures today…
