Chasing the Sun: Military Road - Isle of Wight Highways & Byways

The sunsets over the 'Back of the Wight' can be truly stunning. This drive stretches from one end of Military Road in Atherfield to the other in Freshwater Bay, offering spectacular views of the golden sunset. Beginning in Atherfield, you'll travel along Military Road, passing by the Dinosaur Expedition Centre, Isle of Wight Pearl, and Compton Bay. Before concluding your trip in Freshwater Bay at the entrance to Dimbola Museum & Galleries, all while soaking in the stunning golden skies.

Love this bit of road. A beautiful section of a beautiful island. I grew up in Ventnor, but have lived on the mainland for years now. Enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks for posting them.

I have only just found your posts, I rather like them, but I do have one criticism. When you do your,' chasing the sun', posts, coild you actually drive to somewhere, you/we can actually see the sun going down over the ocean or land! But apart from that quibble, it reminds me of my brother and I cycling around the Isle of Wight in the late nineties!😊

The charm of the place is destroyed by that horrible motor vehicle sound.
