Bus on Blackgang Road
HW54 DCU, a Southern Vectis Alexander-bodied Dennis Dart single decker bus (3363), named "Western Yar", on route 6 to Ventnor via Blackgang Chine.

The road from Chale to Niton was built as a diversionary inland route following the collapse of the previous coastal road between Niton and Blackgang in 1928. It is of similar construction and is mostly from the same time period as the stretch to the west of Chale (The Isle of Wight Military Road Link ) which was re-built and upgraded at this time but this length of road is not usually covered by the term 'Military Road' and its name on street maps and signs is different.
A3055 Road

The A3055 forms the Southern portion of the circular loop around the Isle of Wight; the northern section being the A3054 road. The stretch along the south-west coast of the Island is formed by The Isle of Wight Military Road Link .
