Short Walks - Isle of Wight
20 easy-to-follow walks for the whole family. The routes range from 1½ to 5½ miles in length. Ordnance Survey mapping throughout. Points of interest for children, as well as refreshment stops, public facilities and transport. 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.
