If visiting the Island outside of the walking festival (7th-22nd
May), why not download one of the routes below and plan your
own walk.
Isle of Wight Coastal Path
The Isle of Wight Coastal Path is a fantastic way to explore
the Island. It is usually broken into 6 days of walking, covering
67 miles. Each section is depicted on the maps below. (Courtesy
of Isle of Wight Tourism).
The walking is easy on the Isle of Wight Coastal Path with
generally only mild ascents and descents to be made en route,
though some are steeper. The northern sections spend more time
away from the coast itself than the others, but this tends to
be necessitated by the lay of the land and it happens pretty
infrequently considering the rest of the route.
There is much to be seen on the Isle of Wight Coastal Path
with striking chalk geology featuring heavily in the south and
west. There are great views out to sea and many interesting
places to visit, reflecting the island's heritage and royal
patronage over the years. It should be noted that many of the
cliff edges can be unstable, so you should make a point of not
venturing too near to them.
