와이트 섬 최고의 라이딩 경로

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.

Fast and fun

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 👍

Grat coffee shop at end of pier

Lovely bridge over the Causeway Lake estuary. Enjoy views of the lake on one side and mouth of the river on the other, before setting off for more exploring of this beautiful landscape on the Isle of Wight.

Great coffee spot with Scandinavian vibes

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.

I regularly ride around the Isle of Wight once a year, and can recommend both the Military Road and the inland route taken by the "blue and white flags". In the warmer months of the year (April to October), I would suggest going on a weekday, when there is less holiday traffic.
