Brading - St Helens - Ride the branch line to the sea

Cycling Route

Details
3.24 km
36 m
This route offers easy cycling through fantastic countryside.

Once a branch-line running between Brading and Bembridge this gravel track now offers an opportunity for level cycling alongside the RSPB’s Brading Marshes nature reserve. Most of this route is flat and traffic-free. At the St Helen’s end Carpenters Road involves a climb up the main road into the village, but there is a pavement alongside if you want to push up this short stretch instead. Parking is available in the car park next to the church and Brading Station is near the start of the route.
