The Isle of Wight has more than half of the island designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; it's land and surrounding waters is steeped in historic events and goings on from very early times, today with its stunning beaches and natural surroundings represents a fertile tourism playground. It often becomes a second home whether it’s for a week’s holiday or a full summer stopover as there is always something on offer for everyone to do. The hospitable and friendly people of the Island will gladly open their doors and welcome you.
“Island Eye” has been created to achieve a focal island portal specialising in the History and Tourism of the Island as well as supporting Island businesses and voluntary sectors. Its immense aim is to raise the profile of the portal to the highest possible rankings within the major search engines of the internet and thereby market all the associated points contained within.
The Island Eye History Module allows the user to easily examine the local historic points of interest that have occurred on and around the Island. It has been designed to inform and educate as well as to act as a conduit for users to discover other information resources across the web which have also supported the Island and its way of life over the years.
We are offering an opportunity for all of the Island’s Parish Councils to actively assist is promoting their own historic parish history through the appointment of a parish moderator. They will be able to assist and develop the local area activities and past historic references, thereby adding a really good local feel and look. The objective is to create a living document that can be added to and developed into a multi media archive for the Island.
