Ryde Pier is a listed structure, known as the fourth longest pier in the United Kingdom and also the oldest. Nearby, visitors will find a variety of Ryde Hotels that offer comfortable accommodations and easy access to local attractions.

The Church of St. Mary’s was built in 1846 and designed by Joseph Hansom, the inventor of the hansom cab. Ryde is famous for its vibrant carnivals, with its main procession recognized as the oldest in England. There are five carnivals throughout the year: an Arts Parade in June, Children’s, Main, and Illuminated processions at the end of August, and a Lantern Parade in December.

Ryde Carnival remains the Island’s largest, attracting local crowds and mainland visitors, totaling over 50,000 spectators. Additionally, the acclaimed movie director Anthony Minghella was born in Ryde in 1954, and the Island’s Minghella Film Festival is named in his honor.
