From the northern end of Landguard Road, near the southern end of Landguard Manor Road. The blue sign pointing left shows SUNSHINE TRAIL Lake 1.5 (miles) Sandown 2.5. The blue sign pointing right towards the town centre and Esplanade shows RED SQUIRREL TRAIL and a white-on-red 23, indicating National Cycle Network Route 23. Current red squirrel population estimates are 138,000 in the UK with 120,000 in Scotland, 3,000 in Wales and 15,000 in England of which 3,500 are here on the Isle of Wight. One estimate of the number of grey squirrels in the UK is 2.5 million. However, as there is no current method of comprehensively surveying grey squirrels, this could be a considerable underestimate.
