East Cowes and the places nearby.
East Cowes faces Cowes across the mouth of the Medina, linked by the floating bridge, and is home to the Red Funnel car ferry terminal and Osborne, Queen Victoria's seaside house. Its boatbuilding and aircraft heritage runs deep, and waterfront regeneration has added new homes to its Victorian streets. Customers split between residents, holidaymakers passing through and visitors to Osborne. Businesses should be clear about whether they cross the river to Cowes, since locals treat the two towns as separate even though they are neighbours.
