Around Rookley - leave the car behind and grab the bus to set off on an inland walk round the beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Rookley.

Godshill and Appuldurcombe - a great circular route running through the village of Godshill round to the historic grounds of Appuldurcombe, the grandest house on the Isle of Wight which stands as a partial ruin. 

Curious Carisbrooke - starting in the Island's main town of Newport this circular route weaves round to the magnificent castle at Carisbrooke, where Charles I was famously imprisoned before his execution in 1648.
