Quirky Walks

Last years Isle of Wight Walking Festival introduced some very original walks that aim to increase the positive things in our lives. Whether you’d like to build your confidence through Fire walking, increase your mental and physical wellbeing through Tai Chi and Meditation or find that special someone through Speed Dating, the walking festival has it all.


Quirky Walks

Family Discovery Walks

Short walks with plenty of exciting things to see and do, in town, country or on the beach. Walk in the footsteps of prehistoric dinosaurs or learn about the secret life of rock pools.
For children, join in the Pram and Toddler walks – a great way to enjoy a stroll with the family. Alternatively join in one of our fascinating Story walks where children can walk along the shore at low tide searching for sea glass, driftwood and limpet shells – which will be woven into further tales.

Dress up as a prince or princess and join in an enchanting walk around Carisbrooke Castle, before endulging in your picnic.  Feed the Ducks with Maddison at Big Meade in Shanklin - and so many more walks for children.  Look at the extensive list of walks to select one suitable for you.

Ghost Walks

We won’t let you rest when darkness falls! Keep close behind our guides as they regale you with tales of mystery and suspense!

Food Walks
The guilt free way to have your cake and eat it! Honey for Tea and Chale Tea Party walks will burn off enough energy to partake in a sin free indulgence of tea and cakes – a superb enticement for those with a sweet tooth watching their waistline!!!

Garden Walks
The Garden Isle offers an abundance of breathtaking flora and fauna. Take in the stunning scenery and historical gardens on one of the many garden walks – Changing the Beds at Osborne, Bedding and Bluebells
