Isle of Wight Short Walks, David Foster - With its wide-open river
estuaries, dramatic cliffs and rolling chalk downland, the Isle of Wight
offers some of Britain's most varied scenery. Away from the bustling seaside
resorts, you'll find pretty lanes and thatched villages waiting to welcome
you - and, it's said, there's a pub for almost every square mile on the
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.
