Ryde is an English seaside town and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, with a population of 23,999 at the 2011 Census. It lies on the north-east coast. The town grew in size as a seaside resort after the villages of Upper Ryde and Lower Ryde were merged in the 19th century. The influence of this era is still strongly visible in the town's central and seafront architecture.

I treated my wife (and myself) to the "Owl Experience", It was brilliant, We got to fly and get really up close with 4 different owls, Chloe was our host & handler, assisted by Jodie, Chloe knows her stuff when it comes to birds of prey, and being a Northerner has a great sense of humour, Jodie was great with both us, and the birds and it's clear both enjoy what they do immensely, they're both a credit to the Falconry, welcoming & informative. We will be returning next time we're down that neck of the woods to try the other experiences, they're great value for a couple and you really do get to see them at their best, and will probably learn something new, questions are invited after every different type of bird.

I live just five minutes' walk from this lovely beach and like to visit it at least once a week. When friends and family visit, I always take them along the beach. The children like to walk on the clean sand, you can collect shells, watch the seabirds, and if you are lucky you might see the hovercraft. At low tide you can walk for miles. There are several cafes and shops along the beach, and public toilets nearby. There is always something to see when you visit Ryde beach, whatever the weather.

Just yards from the town centre and adjacent to the imposing Ryde Pier, the Harbour is made more impressive by the regular hovercraft movements. The busy town of Ryde is just a few (uphill) steps away, and the Bus station with the adjacent taxi rank. The Harbour is an attractive place to have a coffee or ice cream and watch the shipping and hovercraft passing.
