The Port Of Ryde

The port at Ryde has always been and important part of the Isle of Wight. The community has always relied on the sea to bring in people and supplies.

At the turn of the 19 th century the upper class traveler started to take advantage of the fast and efficient steamer services that were now visiting the growing 'coastal resorts' around the country and the ferry links provide its modern day equivalent.

A regular ferry service between Ryde ferry port and mainland Britain was set up in 1805 and has remained operational in one way or another ever since.

The Pier was built in 1814 and now houses the high speed ferry link operated by Wightlink to and from Portsmouth as well as the terminus for the Island's Electric railway which runs to Shanklin. The Pier is one of only a few in the Country that you can actually drive your car along and park it at the end for the ferry.
