Dinosaur Isle is situated on the sea-front in Sandown Bay, close to the Isle of Wight Coastal Footpath and the National Cycle Network.

Information on the nearest cycling and walking routes is available from the
Sustrans website.

The award winning National Cycle Network is a comprehensive network of safe and attractive routes to cycle and walk throughout the UK, one third of which is on traffic-free paths, the rest follows quiet lanes or traffic-calmed roads. The first 10,000 miles of safe and attractive cycling and walking routes has been completed bringing the Network to within 1 mile of 50% of the population.

Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity and the charity behind the National Cycle Network, works on projects to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport to benefit health and the environment.
