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.

Wonderful walk on the cliffs overlooking the sea, wonderful walk

whether you want swimming, paddleboarding or obstacle course fun, this place has it all. It's a mix of chlorine and fresh sea water.

Also known as Hurst spit, is a hook-shaped shingle spit which extends for 1.4 miles (2.25 km) from the Hampshire shore into the Solent towards the Isle of Wight. The spit forms a barrier which shelters a Site of Special Scientific Interest known as Hurst Castle And Lymington River Estuary. The spit shelters an area of saltmarsh and mudflats known as Keyhaven and Pennington marshes. At the end of the spit is Hurst Castle, an artillery fortress originally built on the orders of King Henry VIII ( not a very nice man at all ), and much enlarged in the 19th century. Hurst Point Lighthouse was built on the end of Hurst Spit in the 1860s.

With Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, (or Alfred Lord Tennyson), to whom this monument is dedicated, we go back in time to the middle of the 19th century, because the poet, who was already a prominent figure at that time, lived from 1809 to 1892. I had to research the term “Poet Laureate” mentioned by mi1994, and of course Wikipedia also knows something about it: “In the United Kingdom, Poet Laureate is the office of a court poet whose job it is to write poems for official occasions and national events.” Tennyson was awarded this honorary office by Queen Victoria in 1850 and raised to the peerage in the same year.

The phenomenally beautiful Hurst Beach. Gorgeous views of the sea and lovely views of Milford on Sea. For beach enthusiasts, this is a must!

Hurst Spit is a one-mile-long (1.6 km) shingle bank near the village of Keyhaven, at the western end of the Solent, on the south coast of England. The spit shelters an area of saltmarsh and mudflats known as Keyhaven and Pennington marshes. At the end of the spit is Hurst Castle, an artillery fortress originally built on the orders of King Henry VIII, and much enlarged in the 19th century. Hurst Point Lighthouse was built on the end of Hurst Spit in the 1860s.

Tennyson Down is an area of open chalk grassland with dramatic sea views and important plant and insect habitat. It's a great place to run with springy grassy trails, easy underfoot terrain and the views. The Tennyson Monument celebrates the life of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the poet who lived here for many years.
