Route 5 - Newport to Sandown

An easy, level ride on a traffic-free cycle route

Parking:

  • Newport: park next to the track just off Shide Road, opposite the Barley Mow pub. This is a right turn off St George’s Way, as you are leaving Newport and heading for Sandown.

  • Sandown: park at the Railway Station.

From Newport:

Follow the track, going straight on at any road crossings until you reach Sandown station – it’s as simple as that!

From Sandown:

Go out of the car park entrance and turn right down the track and right again under the subway.

Turn right along Perowne Way until you reach the shop on your right.

Turn left to join the cycleway and follow the track, going straight on at any road crossings until you reach Newport.

Refreshments:
  • Newport and Sandown are major towns so have plenty of shops, cafes and pubs.

  • The Barley Mow pub is right next to the Newport end of the cycleway and serves food.

  • The Pointers Inn in Newchurch is a short (uphill) diversion from this route and serves food.

  • Arreton village is a short diversion (north of Horringford on the main road) and has a shop.
