East Wight Day Out

Explore the eastern half of the island on this packed day out, taking you around...

Ryde Town and Pier
Ryde Town is the largest town on the Isle of Wight and perfectly located on the seaside. It has a huge sandy seafront as well as a great selection of boutique shops, galleries and museums.

Stroll along the Esplanade where you will find plenty of activities to do such as the fun fair, ice rink, bowling alley and a very popular canoeing lake. Continue along the seafront and you will discover the imposing Appley Tower, which is situated at the back of Appley beach, and even further along this walk you will reach the Victorian Fortification Battery at Puckpool Park.


Tucked away on the south-west side of Ryde you will find the Play Lane Millenium Green, a tranquil beauty spot, perfect for relaxing with a picnic. Alternatively there are plenty of places to eat along the seafront and in the town itself. One of the most popular eateries is the famous Orrery Café whose walls makeup an incredible planetarium, and also forms part of the Donald McGill museum.

Ryde Pier is the oldest seaside pier in the country having been built in 1814. It is also the second longest pier at just under 1/2 a mile long. You can walk, drive or even catch the train to the end of the pier.
