Find your self-guided full-route or short break walking holiday along the Isle of Wight Coastal Path. The variety of coastal scenery on this stunning trail spans towering white cliffs, the spectacular chalk stacks of The Needles, the multi-coloured sands of Alum Bay and many more sights of natural beauty. There are plenty of wonderful settlements to explore, including thatched villages, lively seaside resorts and bustling harbours.
Other features of interest include a fossil forest, Yarmouth Castle, Palmerston-era forts and Osbourne House, to list only a few. By circumnavigating the entire island, the Isle of Wight Coastal Path successfully showcases everything this fabulous region has to offer. It's a stunning circular section of the England Coast Path.
Please note: as coastal erosion reshapes the Isle of Wight, diversions from the original route of the coast path become inevitable. While these diversions are usually well-signposted, please be aware they are not always as scenic as the original trail and sometimes involve walking along busy roads.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.

“First time to the Isle of Wight for some of us. Varied walking, nothing too strenuous, lovely countryside and views for much of the way. Generally excellent accommodation.”Mr Parkinson, UK
“It was a wonderful walk that combined gorgeous and rugged landscape with some gentler sections. Enjoyable historic and cultural features including Osborne House. Well organised, all went according to plan.”Mr Hill, UK
“Well organised thank you.”Mrs Ingram, UK
“Everything worked seamlessly for us, all the hotels, transfers were brilliant. Each hotel had its own charms and the island was really magical. We were especially pleased with the final booking at the Lakeside. Such a beautiful location and the spa was much needed after 5 days of walking. The itinerary worked really well, and as I mentioned above, we had no problems at all with any of the bookings made for us. The taxi company around Freshwater Bay were especially helpful. Well organised, beautiful scenery. I would also encourage people to stop off at Quarr Abbey outside of Ryde. It was a complete delight and totally unexpected, a really lovely place.”Mrs Brain, UK
