A walk with a theme

It’s easy to plan a walk with a theme when the Isle of Wight is steeped in so much history, culture and wildlife. Children will love searching for dinosaur fossils, historians will enjoy reading up on the life of Queen Victoria and fitness addicts will happily explore the hills of the West Wight. 

Dinosaur safari

The Isle of Wight is sometimes referred to as Dinosaur Island due to the extensive evidence that proves prehistoric life existed.

The Classic: Freshwater Bay to the Needles

This walk is the perfect hike for ramblers looking for a challenge. The famous chalk stacks will emerge from the rolling hills of Tennyson Downs and you’ll be able to stop at the popular Needles landmark attraction.

Sail away

If you dream of a life at sea, Cowes is the perfect place for a relaxed stroll around the marinas. Internationally recognised as a sailing hub, visit Cowes when there’s a sailing regatta taking place and you’ll be spoilt for choice for boats and yachts to gaze at.

Themed trails

There are a variety of historic scenic trails across the Isle of Wight to explore the outdoors and take you back in time.
