Travelling times around The Island:
Generally we tend to split the Island up into 4 quarters for approximate travelling times, an imaginary line from North to South and from East to West. |
|
|
If you select a place you wish to travel to and it happens to be within your 'quarter' {the one you are currently in} it may take around 5 to 10 mins by car to get there. An adjacent 'quarter' around 10-20 mins. And the longest a diagonal {opposite} 'quarter' 30-40 mins by car, remember the roads are small and winding and people are less inclined to race from A to B unlike The Mainland!
|
The main route through Shanklin - Sandown - Lake - Bembridge suffers from heavy congestion sometimes especially in peak season and this can in most cases be avoided by going the 'scenic' route over the downs. These times do not include going through Newport Monday to Saturday inclusive. The river Medina splits Cowes and East Cowes down the middle and continues to Newport, there is a floating bridge at Cowes however but this is also not included in our travelling times. |
