Osborne House Parks & Walks

Osborne at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight was bought by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845 as a private family home away from court life. Victoria used it for over 50 years, and many rooms still hold original furniture and works of art. Visitors can explore the interiors, the gardens and grounds with a tree trail and a beach, and the Swiss Cottage where the royal children played.
