We walked from Freshwater up over the Tennyson Downs (past the monument) to the Needles, then past Alum Bay to the Needless Visitor area and back along the bottom of the Downs (West Down?) to arrive back in Freshwater. A long but relatively easy and absolutely beautiful walk, incredible views and so peaceful up on the Downs. Lots of birds and butterflies to spot. Highly recommended for a day out (the round trip walk including a stop at the Needles and the visitor area took around 4-5 hours and we weren't in a rush).

Lovely find after walking from Yarmouth to Freshwater along the old railway line.... Nice little table outside for us and our dog....... Excellent choice of coffee and tea....we went for the Jabberwocky and Classic blend coffees along with Ginger Cake and Lemon Cupcake as well as a selection of their chocolates. The coffee was excellent, cake fabulous and chocolates wonderful. Excellent service and will definitely revisit next time in Freshwater.

We stopped off at Freshwater Bay on our last full day on the island whilst in the area. There is a pay & display car park just across the road and service buses also stop nearby. The bay is quite pleasant protected by high cliffs at both ends and curves around a sand and shingle beach. There are some beach shops / cafes just across the road from the car park At the west end high up on the cliff is what looks to be a Victorian coastal battery now converted to holiday flats we understood. At the east end, the cliffs rise steeply and if you climb up here onto the grassy down, you will be rewarded by some spectacular views both over the bay and along the coast towards Blackgang & Chale but don’t get too near the edge! On the day of our visit, there were a few families enjoying the late August sun on the beach and swimming in the water and a bit further out, some small yachts and a paddle boarder. We stayed here for about 1½ hours and in that time got some nice photos from the heights overlooking the bay before returning to our car.

Great place to walk from nearby towns. Really good for dogs as well, with some bits walking on the beach, and others on a large promenade. Great views of the Needles, and Hurst Castle.

This church is not as old as it might appear but it is quaint and, being thatched, quite unusual. It is sometimes open for visitors
