This is a great, fast ride for competent road cyclists. However, it does conclude with two strong climbs and a steep descent into Freshwater Bay.Note, that there is a good descent between the climbs, it is fast and short but does swing around to the right and is on the main road. The danger here is being caught by sudden gusts of cross wind when travelling g at speed on the descent. So just keep your wits about you and don't go hell for leather.

If you arrive earthen your booking time. Speak nicely to the guys at the ferry office and they will probably allow you to cross on the next available ferry. We were booked for a 4pm crossing, arrived at 2:40pm and were allowed on the 3pm boat 👍

Here on the A3055 Blackgang Road, just east of St. Catherines Point, is a car park and viewpoint. There is ample parking and a few benches there. You have fine coastal views too, especially to the northwest towards The Needles. You might find an ice cream van there too in the summer months.

Try to avoid, by using it you are sponsoring idiots

over priced, unreliable, noisy Victorian means of transit from A to A plus 100m. Proper rubbish

Expensive, unreliable and very noisy chain ferry

Try to avoid as it often breaks down or is quicker to ride around.
