A Walker's Guide to the
Isle of Wight, Martin Collins & Norman Birch -The Isle of Wight
contains some of the finest countryside walking in the whole of the UK,
with much to offer, whatever your ability. The Island's concentration of
diverse landscapes, historical sites, Victorian seaside resorts and sleepy
villages, in an area measuring only 13 miles (21 km) by 23 miles (37km) at
its widest point, means that although distances are large enough to
provide a challenge, even short routes never lack variety. This manageable
scale combined with a good infrastructure of footpaths and bridleways make
it a ramblers paradise - not to mention the island's enviable sunshine
record. These walks have been specially devised to take advantage of the
island's most outstanding scenery and amenities. This book contains 32
walks of varying standards, comprising "Ten of the Best Island Walks",
"The Official Trails", "The Coastal Path", "The Vectis 8 Trail" and "12
Short Walks", plus useful addresses. Published
