Isle of Wight Walking Festival

The Autumn iteration of the Isle of Wight Walking Festival will be taking place from Saturday, 4 October till Sunday, 12 October 2025.

With trees turning from green to gilded gold, when the sun shines through the canopy and bathes the woodland in its warm light you could easily think you’re in a Hallmark movie with scenery that rivals that of New England.

Autumn transforms the stunning Island landscape so if the Spring Walking Festival was for you, why not visit again this Autumn, the cooler temperature can also make for a more comfortable walk.

What’s more, we’re offering 20% off your ferry travel to the Island for this event, between 3 October and 13 October 2025.

Firstly, and most importantly, you can save 20% on foot, car and motorcycle ferry fares to the Island for the Isle of Wight Spring Walking Festival, between 3 October and 12 October 2025.

If you’re looking to travel on foot, the best way to get there is on our Portsmouth to Ryde route, which can get you across the Solent in just 22 minutes. Ryde has plenty of efficient connections to the rest of the Island if your walk is starting further inland.

Bus services on the Isle of Wight are operated by Southern Vectis and the Isle of Wight Walking Festival have added the relevant bus route number on each walk on their website.

Our mainland ports each have excellent railway connections, so travelling to and from the Isle of Wight by train couldn’t be easier.

Alternatively, if you would like the comfort of your car pre and post walk, both our Portsmouth to Fishbourne and our Lymington to Yarmouth routes can take you to and from the Island with ease.

Pets are welcome on board if you’re bringing your companion along for the walking fun!
