Brading - The Brading Experience (formerly Isle of Wight Waxworks)
Inside Brading's late-Gothic parish church, begun in 1200, there are numerous tombs, including that of Sir John Oglander. A gallery of waxwork figures in the half-timbered house opposite, once owned by Henry VIII, commemorates the island's illustrious guests, including Queen Victoria and the author George Bernard Shaw.
The World of Wheels was added in 2005.
