A network of country lanes and traffic-free cycle paths through a variety of attractive scenery makes the Isle of Wight an ideal destination for a cycling holiday. A coastline of cliffs, beaches and harbours surrounds a green interior of downland, forests and river valleys where red squirrels live. At Egypt Point in the north, racing yachts and giant cargo ships can be seen, close to the shore, sharing the waters of the Solent. The world-famous chalk Needles stretch like the spine of a great white sea monster towards the west. The touring cyclist can visit well-known attractions like Queen Victoria's home, Osborne House, and little-known beauty spots like the Newtown Nature Reserve. The Island's bustling capital of Newport contrasts with small seaside towns like Ventnor and sleepy inland villages like Brighstone.
