Ryde

Ryde is a place name used for several locations, with two of the most notable being in England and Australia.

Ryde, Isle of Wight, is a town and seaside resort on the north coast of the Isle of Wight, England. It lies at the far end of the island’s main coastal area and has a long seafront with a promenade, parks, and harbour facilities. A key feature is the Ryde Pier, a historic structure that extends into the Solent and connects the town to the island’s railway network. The town has a history as a ferry and fishing port and today supports tourism, retail, and local services. It also contains historic buildings and cultural venues, including Ryde Castle, a notable local landmark.

Ryde, New South Wales, is a suburb of Sydney, Australia, located on the northern bank of Sydney Harbour within the City of Ryde. The area is primarily residential, with commercial precincts along major roads and access to parks, schools, and other community facilities. It is part of the broader Sydney metropolitan area and is served by local roads and public transport links that connect to the central city and surrounding northern suburbs.

In addition to these, the name Ryde appears in other places and uses, but the Isle of Wight and New South Wales locations are the best known. The name is widely associated with coastal, suburban, and regional centers in these regions.
