Walking
The Isle of Wight has a wealth of footpaths and bridleways and is reputed to have more footpaths per square mile than any other English county - from a 60 
mile coastal path, to easy circular routes, and short town trails - there are over 500 miles of well maintained paths on an island that measures 23 by 15 miles
The Coastal Path can be walked in four days at a leisurely pace. The coastline is varied from white chalk cliffs to quiet estuaries. Almost half of the coastline is designated "Heritage Coast", a definition applied only to coastlines of the highest quality and unspoilt nature.
Inland the chalk downlands are the home to many unique wild flowers and fauna, and the Island has some of the most picturesque villages in the country.
Fishing
The island is 23 miles at its greatest length from The Needles in the West to Bembridge Foreland on the East.
Its width is approximately 13 miles from Cowes to St Catherine's Point. Its shape resembles a Turbot. There are 65 miles of coastline with 4 estuaries, at least 20 freshwater fishable lakes.
There are three main rivers Eastern YAR / Western YAR and the River Medina This all contributes to the island being an answer to every fisherman's prayer.
An angler's dream.
