THE Isle of Wight has been revealed to be the UK's best known island.

Island Cottage Holidays recently asked the Great British public to place the UK's islands on a map, to determine how well they know the beautiful islands in their country's own backyard.

The Isle of Wight received the most correct answers, with 90 per cent of participants successfully placing our little rock on the map.

Participants from London, the South East and the South West were among the best at locating the Island, with 95, 95 and 94 per cent respectively hitting the nail on the head.
