This guidebook describes 34 graded day walks, from 4 to 16 miles long, on the beautiful Isle of Wight. Visit the towns of Yarmouth, Ventnor and Cowes, the hidden gem of Newtown Harbour, the chalky Needles and the splendour of Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle. Also described is the spectacular Isle of Wight Coastal Path, in two sections, both taking you in the most scenically attractive direction - east to west - around the north of the island and then around the south. Illustrated with OS map extracts and colour photography, and filled with information on the many historical sites on the island. All abilities are catered for, with some of the easier walks being appropriate for children. At the other end of the scale, the interconnectedness of many walks may lead hardy walkers to do two or three in one day.
Paul Curtis has a great passion for travelling, particularly for long-distance walking and cycling. He has cycled from Boston to San Diego; Amsterdam to Sarandë in Albania, and Calais to Istanbul. He has also completed several of the UK's well known walking trails. Paul fell in love with the Isle of Wight on his first visit in 2008, and moved there in 2011. This is his first book.
