Isle of Wight Walking Festival 2012

Type: Guided Walk

Since it began in 1999, the two-week Isle of Wight Walking Festival has grown to become the biggest event of its kind in the UK with over 200 walks and 21000 people taking part in 2010. Walks are accompanied and graded, and range from short- story walks for kids to a 24-hour walk around the Island’s spectacular coastal path. Since it began in 2008, the IW speed-dating walk has resulted in two ‘Wight’ weddings!

The Island has over 500 miles of well- maintained and signposted footpaths around 30 miles of Heritage Coastline, while more than half of the Island is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
