Route 8 – Yarmouth to Freshwater and The Needles

The westernmost part of our island offers one of the most delightful coast-to-coast excursions in the UK. This area really highlights the unusual topography of our island; the whole northern edge is tilted into the sea, lifting the chalky south into the air. Like a gigantic iceberg on the precipice of flipping, it creates a dramatic landscape, exaggerated along the River Yar.
