Walks on the Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight has more than 500 miles of carefully maintained public rights of way, a network providing access to most of its 147 square miles of glorious coast and countryside. This offers an excellent environment for walkers and the perfect destination for a walking holiday.

Footpaths can be found along the towering chalk cliffs of the south coast, in its wildlife-rich wetlands and woodlands and along the river valleys that dissect the island. So don't even think about leaving Fido at home - he will enjoy the walking as much as you do.

Dog Walking

More than 500 miles of marked footpaths and a host of sandy beaches make the Isle of Wight a great place for dogs to visit - with their owners!
