Road cycling

This is one of the only sections of road in the New Forest which runs right next to the sea. It's a fabulous stretch of cycling with Lepe Beach at the eastern end.

You can access the beach directly from the road, where there's a pleasant sandy section to stop. The car park next to the beach is part of Lepe Country Park and benefits from a cafe with sea views.

Road cycling

the only (nice) coastal road in the New Forest suitable for road cycling, as far as I'm aware. Most other places are either busy or you only get a glimpse of the sea way off. Stop for a break at one of the benches next to the road or go down to the beach itself. At the eastern end of the road is Lepe country park, with toilets and a café and worth a visit in itself

Cycling

Pines rise majestically from the cliffs of Lepe Road which traces the sand and shingle bay on the edge of Lepe Country Park. There is a cafe and shop by the car park, just as the road bends north and inland. You can usually see the Isle of Wight if you are heading east. The town you can see on the island is Cowes.
