~ MAPS ~

The following maps should help you get your bearings. Signposting on the Island is reasonable, but many of the minor roads are single track and look alike, so it helps to have a navigator.
Most major roads lead to Newport, from where you should take the Sandown road to reach Newchurch, or the Shorwell road (turn left in Carisbrooke) to head for Atherfield.
If you are coming to Atherfield from Yarmouth, you may like to take the coast road via Freshwater,
as it has fine views over the Channel. This is known locally as the Military Road,
so called because it was built by German prisoners during the first world war.
Atherfield Green is between Little Atherfield and Pyle (lower left).

Please note that the A3055 has suffered from subsidence between St.Lawrence and Niton.
This is currently (2005) under repair, but be prepared for a diversion if you take this scenic route.
