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.

The church in Mottistone was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men" together with his brother Andrew. In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

Not open on a Saturday

The church originally dates from the 11th century in Norman times but was rebuilt during the Victorian Restoration. The celtic cross outside is from the 19th century and close by you will find the grave of Edward Edwards who helped establish public libraries.

The gardens of Mottistone Manor are open to the public and there is talk that soon the house itself will let visitors through the doors for the first time. The gardens are a magical display of colour and life and you can also enjoy refreshments in the outdoor cafe. Sit back and enjoy the bird song.

This impressive and imposing building is the seat of the Worsley family. Construction began in the 18th century, but don't let looks deceive you, this is actually just a building shell. It has nothing inside. During WW2 the military were stationed in the house and it was hit by a land mine. The roof collapsed and over time everything inside was sold off.

A Grade II listed building, St Peter & St Paul Church dates from the 12th century. It said that the timber for the chancel roof came from a shipwreck. Indeed one of them is carved with the date 1628.

The White Lion is the Isle of Wight's oldest pub and is very welcoming to walkers and their four legged friends. It was built in 1454 and there is some suggestion it could even be the oldest pub in England. The pub once had a thatched roof and photos of this and others of the village in days gone by are on display inside. If its good weather, you can make use of their lovely beer garden
