This short break option begins in Yarmouth and explores the southern coast of the island before reaching Shanklin. This introduction to the Isle of Wight is ideal for those with less time. This walk sets off from the natural harbour in Yarmouth and passes the cliffs of Alum Bay, the Needles and the Lighthouse.
The trail then follows a series of ‘chines’ and clifftop paths before visiting the town of Ventnor. The final leg of this journey then leads to Shanklin, where the cottages and tea rooms of the Old Town provide an idyllic place to celebrate the completion of your walk.

“It was our first time visiting the Isle of Wight. We benefitted from good weather and as we were following the coast, navigation was easy. We were surprised to only meet one other person doing the coastal walk in July. In many parts, we had the trail to ourselves. There were lovely views over the water and the island. We also managed to find some good swimming spots. I loved the swimming at Freshwater Bay and Shanklin. The countryside around Ventnor was beautiful. Our luggage was always there waiting for us at the end of the day. Can’t wait to book another holiday with you ????”Mrs Ezekial, UK
