Welcome to the official website of the Isle of Wight Walking Festival 2008

Did you know that every May the Isle of Wight hosts the UK's largest walking festival?

Not surprising when you learn that it has over 500 miles of well-maintained and signposted footpaths around 30 miles of Heritage Coastline, while more than half of the Island is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Add to this the good quality accommodation and better than average UK weather, it’s easy to see why walking is so popular on this holiday Island.
