The Olympic Torch Relay

The Isle of Wight Council is honoured that the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) has chosen the Isle of Wight to be part of the Olympic Torch route, which is a once in a lifetime occasion.

The torch will arrive in Yarmouth on board a Wightlink ferry at 12.44pm on July 14 and then visit Totland, The Needles Park, Gunville, Carisbrooke, Newport and East Cowes before returning to the mainland via a Red Funnel ferry after 4pm to continue its 70-day UK tour.

The flame will be carried by dozens of people while it is on the Isle of Wight.
