Ryde
Sign in to saveAlso known as Ryde, Isle of Wight
Ryde is a seaside town and civil parish on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight in South East England. The parish area had a population of 24,096 according to the 2021 Census. Its growth as a seaside resort came after the villages of Upper Ryde and Lower Ryde were merged in the 19th century, as can still be seen in the town's central and seafront architecture. The resort's expansive sands are revealed at low tide. Their width means the regular ferry service to the mainland requires a long listed pier – the fourth longest in the United Kingdom, and the oldest surviving.
