Walk the Coastal Path from West Cowes


All abilities

Hiking

Walking
The Isle of Wight coastal path is a scenic and varied 70-mile route around the island. From West Cowes, you can head West along esplanade through Gurnard and on to the remote Thorness Bay where you're forced inland through Newton Harbour Nature Reserve. Heading East is not recommended (unless you're doing the full route) as you are mostly restricted to roads as far as Fishbourne.

No entry cost

Suitable for dogs on leads only

Countless options available in town.

Public toilets available on site.

No camping nearby
