If you are looking for a home with a little more room to roam, Isle of Wight might be just the place for you. Isle of Wight is 363 sq miles of beautiful countryside and quaint small town charm wrapped in history. This rural county boasts two major hubs, Smithfield and Windsor. Its northeast boundary is on the coast of the Hampton Roads waterway. The Jamestown/Scotland ferry is a quick trip across the James River to Virginia's Historic Triangle Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. Day trippers from the Triangle have made Smithfield a must-see adventure. Smithfield is an authentic colonial port town established in 1752. It has maintained its history, complete with a Main street lined with restored colonial mansions and family-run Inns. Art galleries, specialty shops and restaurants abound. One of the most famous, The Smithfield Inn dates back to the beginning in 1752, claiming George Washington as a distinguished guest. If you're looking for a unique experience, you can even plan a sleepover in a lighthouse suite on the Pagan River. Windsor is another small town in Isle of Wight with the charm that draws people out of the big cities back to the countryside. If you are looking for the simpler days of old, Isle of Wight has all the character and southern gentility you are looking for.
