With the Isle of Wight enjoying a spell of great weather, many people are taking the opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy a walk.
Before setting off, it’s always worth making sure you are aware of any footpath closures that might affect your route.
A wide network of routes
The Isle of Wight has an extensive network of paths open to the public. This includes historic Rights of Way, as well as a number of Permissive Paths.
These routes offer a variety of walking experiences, from coastal tracks to countryside trails, making them a key part of the Island’s outdoor appeal.
Where to find the latest information
The Public Rights of Way section on the Isle of Wight Council’s website is the best source for checking any current closures.
Another useful tool is the Wight Paths website, which provides clear and up-to-date information to help plan your walk.
Wherever you decide to walk, we hope you have an enjoyable time and don’t forget to stay away from cliff edges, or walk below cliff edges.
