Travelling by Train

You can catch a train to either Portsmouth or Southampton and then catch a passenger ferry to the Isle of Wight.

From Portsmouth you'd arrive at Ryde, and from Southampton you'd land at Cowes. There is only one connecting train on the Island from the Portsmouth Ferry route, but as this doesn't go near our campsite its not much use to you. The local buses do travel from both Ryde & Cowes past the site, and are quite reliable for a bus network.

Please also note that at Revolution we explore the Island during the weekend and most of our activities are off-site. For small groups we may be able to assist with providing transport, but for larger groups you will need to arrange for your own transport to get to these activities.

Let us know ASAP if you plan on coming without transport.

There are numerous ways to get to the Island, and it does depend on how you are planning on coming down as a unit and whereabouts you are located in the Country.

There are two ferry companies that run to the Island these are 'Red Funnel' and 'Wight Link'.

The ferry to the Island can be quite expensive, make sure that you allow for this when calculating your budget, also as it is a Double Bank Holiday weekend make sure that you book well in advance, or else you might have problems getting to the Island. You can reduce the price of the ferry by booking out of the peak times.

The activies are located off-site, you will require your own transport on the Island to acces them.
