Sightseeing

Popular sightseeing village on the island. Independent shops, tea rooms and restaurants. Take a evening walk through The Chine and along the seafront - don't worry there's lift back to the top of the cliff.

City/town information

Nearest town to us... independent shops and restaurants. Ryde is where the hovercraft comes in - always worth a watch. Appley Beach is a few minutes along the Esplanade with plenty of sandy beach - perfect for a day on the beach. There's a park opposite part of the beach and a café at either end of the seawall (Appley to Puckpool).
