Guidebook to 21-day walks on the Isle of Wight, suitable for all abilities, plus a long-distance Coastal Path route. Discover this beautiful, relaxed island off England's south coast, with a variety of walking terrain: dramatic coast paths, rolling downland, marshes, woods, forests and sites of historical interest. Coastal routes can be enjoyed year-round, while inland walks are best between spring and autumn.

The graded day walks range from 8–30km (5–19 miles) and take between 2 and 8 hours to complete. The Coastal Path is a longer, more challenging route that circumnavigates the island in an anti-clockwise direction. It's divided into eight stages, though stronger walkers may prefer to complete it over five, six or seven stages. The full route covers 125km (78 miles).

  • 1:50,000 OS maps included for each walk
  • Easy access from Newport, Cowes and Shanklin
  • Includes refreshment and public transport options for all walks
  • Local points of interest include The Needles, Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle
