Places to Buy Unique Souvenirs in England's Isle of Wight
Not only is the Isle of Wight a wonderfully windswept spot to hike, cycle, horse-ride and bird-watch, it’s also a prize location for some serious shopping therapy. With a gleaming array of stores to browse, visitors to this pretty island can guarantee a bag or two full of brilliance to be squeezed into their suitcase on the way home. From home-grown produce to sugary sweets, books to bracelets and everything in between, here’s our guide to the top places to find a unique memento of your trip to the Isle of Wight.
1. The Garlic Farm
Whether you’re a budding chef, a believer in natural remedies or simply unconvinced that vampires are fictional, head to the Isle of Wight’s magnificent Garlic Farm. Approved by England’s other queen and everyone’s favourite nana Mary Berry, the farm offers a vast range of products, most of which are unsurprisingly garlic based. With the sometimes controversial kitchen staple available in all forms (for cooking and eating, for growing and as a gift) the farm makes for a brilliant day out as well as a unique place to stock up on local veg.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
