Ramblers Get Set For Isle Of Wight Walking Festival's 100 Walks

The Isle of Wight Walking Festival gets underway next month, with ramblers of all ages and abilities taking part in 100 different Isle of Wight walks.

From Saturday, October 9 until Friday, October 22, a variety of walks graded from gentle to strenuous, will take place across the Island.

Organised by Visit Isle of Wight in association with the Isle of Wight Ramblers Association, the National Trust and a number of volunteer ‘Walk Leaders’, walkers are being encouraged to book their spaces, as some walks are filling up fast.

The walk includes 13 family friendly walks hosted by the New Carnival Company featuring community arts installations, ghost walks with local expert Marc Tuckey, a forest ramble with DJ and Camp Bestival organiser Rob Da Bank, while toddlers and young children can join the hunt for real life unicorns with the ‘Unicorn Treasure Hunt and Story Time’ at the Island Riding Centre.

Sarah Alexander, Co Project Manager of the Isle of Wight Walking Festival says the line-up of walks offers something for everyone:

"We are excited to offer over 100 unique and special walks – new and old – across the whole Island, hosted by our knowledgeable Walk Leaders and volunteers.

"There’s a route for everyone, of all ages, from historical short strolls too longer treks that get the heart racing — it’s something to do with your family, your friends or on your own.

"We are looking forward to seeing people switch off and enjoy the great outdoors on the Island this autumn."
