Essential Travel Blog's Guide to Summertime Fun

So something a little different this week!

With the school holidays looming, thought it might be helpful to have a guide to some Summertime Fun in Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and surrounding areas.

• Yachts battle it out in Western Solent for the Tattinger Royal Solent Yacht Club Regatta 14-16 July

• Many yachts again in the ever favourite Cowes Week This year 29th July - 5th August. Even if you're not sailing this is a fabulous event for all the family.  Shoreside is always a fun place with lots going on and Cowes High Street is one of my favourite High Streets and particularly this time of the year full of atmosphere and lots of offers. :)
