Beautiful walks can be enjoyed from the front door, through woodland, to the villages of Alverstone and Newchurch, or towards the coast at Sandown, Shanklin and Ventnor. Cyclists can join the nearby Alverstone cycle path which links with Sandown, Newport and Cowes. The Isle of Wight is best known for its sandy beaches and traditional seaside holiday resorts offering plenty of swimming, paddling and beachside relaxation.
