뉴처치‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 산 정상

Steephill cove로 내려가는 길은 자전거를 가파르고 좁은 아스팔트 길을 따라 내려가야 합니다.

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.

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.

The unmade section of road (beyond the radar station) is now closed to motor vehicles. There are still plenty of free parking areas along the road up to that point.

Adjacent to the highest point on the Island (St Boniface Down), this free car park is an excellent place to start a walk or ride for some big views across the Island and beyond. But be warned: the access road is very steep and the final section is unmade, with some rather sizeable undulations.

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.
