Isle of Wight Short Walks, David Foster - With its wide-open river
estuaries, dramatic cliffs and rolling chalk downland, the Isle of Wight

island. Over 500 miles of carefully maintained footpaths offer plenty of
scope to explore the island's unique attractions. The guide features
historic buildings like the remarkable 14th-century lighthouse near Chale,
Bembridge windmill and the town hall at Newtown, which dates from the days of England's infamous rotten boroughs. Published March 10.
