Brading Bull Ring

Highlight • Historical Site

Set in the ground outside the new Town Hall (1903), there is an iron bullring which was once used to secure a bull whilst it was being baited by dogs.[5] According to the diaries of Sir John Oglander, the Governor of the Isle of Wight would donate 5 guineas for the purchase of the bull to be baited; the meat was afterwards donated to the poor of the town. The Mayor attended this ceremony in full regalia and a dog, known as the Mayor's Dog, would be decked with coloured ribbons and set on the bull after the proclamation had been made. A large wooden carving of a bull decorates the Bullring. This is by local artist Paul Sivell. Another of his works is an approximately 10-foot wooden statue of the goddess Diana positioned in the woods above Brading at Kelly's Copse entitled "For Camilla". This commemorates a recent murder of a Danish exchange student by a sex attacker from Gosport. Many local people have added plastic flowers and stuffed toys as tribute.

Ryde Pier

Highlight • Structure

Paul McCartney recently confirmed what we all already ‘knew’ … the Beatles hit Ticket To Ride was inspired by a trip to Ryde made by Macca and John Lennon in the early sixties.

This quirky fact is just one part of the story of the Isle of Wight’s largest town.

It’s a fantastic place that combines shopping centres, nights out, golden sands and creative hearts - making it a great holiday destination.

The late Oscar-winning film director Anthony Minghella grew up in the town and journalist and author Philip Norman is also a Ryde boy.

This gateway to the East Wight has excellent connections to the mainland and is a super entry point to the rest of the Island so if you are about to Say Yes to the Isle of Wight, don’t forget to set aside some time for your Ticket to Ryde!

Small Hope Beach Beach Huts

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

Small Hope Beach sits to the left of the main Shanklin seafront and backs onto a spectacular cliff face. Often overlooked in the Isle of Wight beach guides, this sandy beach is part of the “Bay Area” (which runs all the way from Shanklin to Yaverland) .
The cliff side of the sea wall is lined with beach huts which can be hired, some of which are set back from the pathway and have their own garden areas.
