The perfect place for a cycling holiday
Located just a few miles from the mainland and only two hours from the
centre of London, the Isle of Wight is the perfect place for a cycling
holiday, to relax and unwind in exhilarating clean air: Within an area of
just 147 square miles you will find over 200 miles of cycle routes enticing
you into the countryside or along the coast.
The Countryside on your doorstep
Over half of the Isle of Wight is designated as an 'Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty' and there are nearly 30 miles of 'Heritage Coast' -an
accolade only applied to coastlines of the highest quality in England and
Wales. This offers a perfect environment for the keen cyclist and a
fantastic venue for a cycling holiday.
Wherever you chose to stay on the Island, you will find well sign-posted and
carefully maintained routes into the countryside. In fact, the Isle of Wight
has achieved recognition by the Countryside Agency for its 500 miles (827km)
of Public Rights of Way. Of these, some 200 miles (300km) are bridle ways,
cycle ways and byways which are accessible to cyclists.
