From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wonders of the Isle of Wight are a series of landmarks on the Isle of Wight which were immortalised in a poem originating from a series of postcards.

[edit] Wonders

1. "Lake" where there is no water.
2. The "Needles" you cannot thread.
3. "Ryde" where you walk.
4. "Cowes" you cannot milk.
5. "Freshwater" you cannot drink.
6. "Newport" you cannot bottle.
7. "Winkle Street" where there are no Winkles.
8. "Newtown" which is very old.

Sometimes Newtown is replaced with "Newchurch, over 900 years old"

Also, the wording of the poem varies.
