The climb is a bit steep, but the views are expansive, over land and sea. Don't be afraid, just respect the cows, goats, and dogs. Today they were all friendly and well-disposed.

Some great tracks to get off the beaten track. Close enough to cycleways to be easily accessible

Whether you are mountain biking or walking this is a great place to be. We did all the Red Squirrel trail and found lots of places to stop off for something to eat. I did 3 video's last year. Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trail parts 1, 2 and 3. My You tube channel is TrevorMcCardleMTB and it is dedicated to Mountain Biking in the UK and Spain. Have fun
