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.
Admiring the amazing views from Tennyson Down, named after the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Visiting the many picturesque towns and villages, including Ventnor, with its Mediterranean feel.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
