Totland Bay

Highlight • Beach

The clear blue waters of Totland Bay make this an ideal place for a post run dip. There are also plenty of places to eat here if your run has left you feeling hungry.

Tip by

8.46 km

Hiking up on Heddon Warren gives you a fantastic view of The Needles, the sea stacks extending out into the sea. You can also see the chairlift which takes daring passengers down to Alum Bay past the multicoloured cliffs.

Narrow Overgrown Path

Highlight • Trail

Paths to the north are so overgrown with hedges and scratchy bushes, it’s better to choose the ones to the south even if they are more steep.

View of The Needles and Alum Bay

Highlight • Natural Monument

A good spot for taking photos, located at the end of the path on chalk rock. You can see the Needles and the bay from here. The place is covered with heather.

Yarmouth Pier

Highlight • Structure

Such a lovely part of the IOW. I’ve never been to this side but a friend and me went bike packing all over IOW. It is definitely worth a trip. And very friendly people too.👍🏻
