| Carisbrooke
is so close to Newport that it's almost a suburb on the map. But, a visit to the village
would soon put that right. Carisbrooke's main feature is its Norman castle named after the
village. Next to Osborne house, Carisbrooke castle is one of the main tourist attractions
on the Island. The town's stream, Lukely Brook once kept many mills going but sadly none remain today, though around the stream are still many attractive cottages. The church of Carisbrooke Priory contains the tomb of Lady Wadham, Jane Seymour's aunt. The actual Priory did not survive Henry VIII reformations. The village has a few good shops to browse around including a pottery and an antiques shop. There are also some restaurants and cafe´s. Carisbrooke
