By Car or Cycle
From Fishbourne follow the traffic along Fishbourne Lane
to the traffic lights. Turn left on to the A3054.
After 1/2 mile, at the top of a hill the speed
limit changes to 30 mph, and you will find a mini-roundabout.
This is the beginning of Binstead. Turn
left into Church Road. About 10
yards in on the left-hand
side of the road you will see a private, shared drive.
Go to the end of this. We are the big house
with a large, pebbled forecourt for parking.
From East Cowes take the A3021. After 2 miles you will come
to a big roundabout. Turn left towards Ryde on
to the A3054. Continue through Wootton Bridge.
After 1/2 mile at traffic lights you will see
the well-labelled Fishbourne ferry turn-off on your
left. Go straight past this. Then follow the directions
above.
From Ryde take the A3054 west towards Wootton and Newport.
After about a mile, you will be passing through
Binstead, at the end of which is an obvious hill. At
the top of this hill is a mini-roundabout. Turn
right here. About 10
yards in on the left-hand
side of the road you will see a private, shared drive.
Go to the end of this. We are the big house
with a large, pebbled forecourt for parking.
From elsewhere take the A3054 until you can use one of the
above directions.
By Bus
The local bus company is called Southern
Vectis. It has a reasonably helpful web-site,
showing both bus routes and timetables. I have also put the direct links for
each journey below.
From
Ryde the No. 9 bus leaves from the esplanade
between the pier and the hovercraft terminal. Ask
for Binstead War Memorial at the top of Binstead Hill.
The bus-stop is by the mini-roundabout mentioned
above. Church Road is across the main road. No 9 timetable. The map is at Ryde bus routes. Alternatively there is a taxi
rank near the pier.
From
East Cowes take the No. 4
bus from outside the ferry terminal. Ask for Binstead
War Memorial at the top of Binstead Hill. The
bus-stop is along Newnham Road, a right-turn at the mini-roundabout mentioned
above. Church Road is on the opposite side of the roundabout. No.4 Timetable. Cowes Bus Routes.
From West
Cowes take the No. 1 bus,
which leaves from the ferry terminal, to Newport bus station. Change there to a No.9. Ask for
Binstead War Memorial at the top of Binstead Hill. The
bus-stop is just down from the mini-roundabout mentioned
above. Church Road is on the same side of the
road. No.1 Timetable. No 9 timetable.
Alternatively the fit and unladen
can walk half a mile to the Floating Bridge between
West and East Cowes. Once across this, catch the
No. 4 bus as above; this will result in a shorter journey.
Both of these alternatives can be seen on the
map at Cowes Bus Routes.
Once you are in Church Road, about
10 yards in on the left-hand side you will see a private,
shared drive. Go to the end of this. We
are the big house with a large, pebbled forecourt.
Internet Map
Click on www.multimap.com for a good map that shows where we are.
This map site can display maps at different scales,
so it can also be used as a road map for getting here,
and for planning any excursions on the island.
