Quick ride by bicycle from Newport to Sandown

Start your cycling adventure in Newport, the bustling heart of the Isle of Wight. Rich in history and charm, Newport offers plenty to see before hitting the road, like the impressive Carisbrooke Castle. As you pedal away, you'll be cruising primarily on smooth asphalt paths, giving way to some areas of loose gravel to keep things interesting.

The route gently rolls with a few ups and downs, so it's perfect if you’re looking for a nice balance of effort and relaxation. Most of your journey will be along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable ride.

Along the way, you might want to stop and soak in the beautiful countryside views. With only 1% of the route on busy roads, it's mostly a tranquil ride. Eventually, you'll arrive at Sandown, a lovely seaside town known for its sandy beach and the Sandown Pier. It’s a great spot to unwind, grab some fish and chips, or even dip your toes in the sea.

Happy cycling, and remember to enjoy the journey as much as the destination!
