Ryde Pier

Highlight • Structure

Paul McCartney recently confirmed what we all already ‘knew’ … the Beatles hit Ticket To Ride was inspired by a trip to Ryde made by Macca and John Lennon in the early sixties.

This quirky fact is just one part of the story of the Isle of Wight’s largest town.

It’s a fantastic place that combines shopping centres, nights out, golden sands and creative hearts - making it a great holiday destination.

The late Oscar-winning film director Anthony Minghella grew up in the town and journalist and author Philip Norman is also a Ryde boy.

This gateway to the East Wight has excellent connections to the mainland and is a super entry point to the rest of the Island so if you are about to Say Yes to the Isle of Wight, don’t forget to set aside some time for your Ticket to Ryde!
