Local Area

The Isle of Wight is a favourite destination for walkers. It has a wide variety of countryside ranging from river estuaries to spectacular cliffs. Picturesque villages give way to pretty farms, river valleys and nature reserves. Almost half of the island is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Plan your walk to include an attraction, such as the Botanic Gardens at Ventnor (free entry), Nunwell House at Brading, the Needles Battery. Or just through a picturesque village-like Godshill. Or enjoy the contrast of descending from the isolation of Tennyson Down into the busy Alum Bay Theme Park, and then on towards Colwell Bay.
