Footloose
Think about a traditional British day trip and the picture that most likely springs to mind is of a family heading off to the beach or a fun-packed attraction. But on the Isle of Wight, there’s more to a day out than meets the eye. And, with fast, round-the-clock ferry crossings to the Island, it couldn’t be easier to get across to one of the country’s greenest destinations – on foot.
Besides families in search of fun - hikers, cyclists, dog walkers and people of all ages with an interest in history, heritage, scenery and even extreme sports will find a treat in store. There are Wight Hot day trip offers for foot passengers too, combining bus, ferry and train travel at a discount.

Of course, a Wight day trip can easily be extended into a short break. There’s a wealth of eco-friendly places to stay and an extensive local transport network for trouble-free trips on foot.
Take the car, if you prefer, but park it on arrival and step out on foot to explore an Island that promises much and delivers plenty. Rolling hills, river estuaries, pastoral countryside, miles of beaches and dramatic cliffs are just some of the Wight delights.
Footloose is a curtain raiser to the many and varied attractions of Wight on foot – whatever your interest. Just turn the pages to pinpoint what’s for you on a trip to the Island on foot.
