Highlights
Experience Isle Of Wight:
Our adventure starts by pushing our bikes onto the ferry at Lymington and a 45 minute crossing to Yarmouth. Leaving Yarmouth behind, we head towards Freshwater and along the River Yar and a climb up to Compton Downs where stunning views await us. Riding off the Downs, it’s a short ride to the small village of Brighstone where there is an opportunity to stop for a well deserved coffee. From Brighstone, we head to Shorwell and a steady climb on gravel track towards the top of a ridge.; this part of the ride is undulating with great views all around us and a chance to see the impressive Highdown Cliffs before we head back to Yarmouth to catch the ferry back to Lymington.
