Round the Island in Top 5 Cycle Routes in the UK & Ireland!🚴

Global travel site Big 7 Travel has just released its ranking of the 'Best Cycle Routes in the UK and Ireland' - chosen by cyclist enthusiasts - and the Isle of Wight's Round the Island Route makes it into the top 5.🤩

"With more than 200 miles of cycle lanes and paths crisscrossing the Island, the Isle of Wight is a popular spot for cyclists, both novice and experienced. But for a special challenge, there’s the Round the Island.☀️

"The 60-mile route circles the entire Island, offering plenty of opportunities to make the most of the Island’s breathtaking sea views and meandering countryside. You can pick the route up anywhere, but most people tend to begin close to the ferry terminals at either Yarmouth or Cowes. From here, you can cycle clockwise or anti-clockwise, either tackling the whole route in one or stopping at small towns along the way to split the ride into more manageable smaller sections.”🏝

"A beach in the UK has won fans for its rather unique way of getting to it - via a chairlift with stunning views.🏖🚡

"Alum Bay, on the Isle of Wight, is known for its multicoloured cliffs formed by chalk stacks. The long stretch of pebble beach is often praised as being one of the most picturesque beaches on the Island.😍

"Its bright blue waters are popular with families, being clear enough to spot fish and sea life underneath as well as shallow enough to paddle. But the most popular part of the beach is The Needles: Landmark Attraction's chairlift taking tourists up and down with amazing views along the way.🤩

"It celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, carrying more than 14 million people since it opened in 1973."😲
