가장 멋진 산 정상 4곳

The climb is a bit steep, but the views are expansive, over land and sea. Don't be afraid, just respect the cows, goats, and dogs. Today they were all friendly and well-disposed.

I love running this track with my dogs—it's peaceful, and the views are absolutely breathtaking.

Ventnor Downs is the group of downs above Ventor which includes St Boniface Down where you can find the highest point on the Isle of Wight. There is a lot of free parking spaces up here and incredible views over the coast so a run around this area is fully recommended.

It's high, but it's worth the climb. On a good day you can see all the way to the Isle of Portland to the west and even to France to the south. St Boniface Down is home to the highest point on the Isle of Wight. The trig point, just north of here stands at 241m.

Arguably one of the best views on the Isle of Wight, from Shanklin Down you can see all the way out to the Nab Tower lighthouse in the east, out to the Needles Headland in the west and even over the Solent to the mainland.

Great Views across Shanklin and Sandown Bay to Culver Cliff in the distance

This group of downs contains the Island's highest point (St Boniface Down), and is a large area of Access Land owned by the National Trust. In the 1km (0.6 miles) between the highest point and the coast, perched on the steep slopes, is the town of Ventnor (part of the largest urban landslide complex in Northern Europe). The highest point itself is occupied by Ventnor Radar Station, so you can't go and stand on it. However, the benefit of this is that there is a (rather steep) access road right up to the top, with lots of (free!) places to park along its length. The road continues (unmade) beyond the radar station to Bonchurch Down, where there is another viewpoint and car park.

Shanklin Down offers, perhaps, the widest view of any summit on the Island. It's just a few metres shy of the Island's highest point (which is St Boniface Down; just a pleasant stroll along the ridge from here). From the trig. point which marks its summit, you can see right across East Wight and out to the Nab Tower lighthouse off the Island's eastern coast; across Central Wight and all the way out to the Needles Headland (the Needles themselves are just out of view behind the cliff that sticks out); across the Ventnor Downs to the Pepperpot (on another peak just shy of the highest point); and over the Solent to Portsmouth and Southampton.
