"Dear Bill & Jackie. Both Adrian and I felt we had to write to express our sincere thanks for such a great holiday. Your hospitality, food, staff & accommodation was all superb. The guided walking despite Adrian’s bad feet was brilliant. The memory of the 19 of us crossing the finishing line at Shanklin will stay with us for a long time! Thanks once again and we look forward to seeing you next year."

"Dear Bill & Jackie Sincere thanks for another very successful walking weekend, and of course for arranging the weather!! Thought the Hambledon looked very smart and welcoming and the lounge is lovely, you’ve worked very hard and it shows. Food as always was delicious and varied and plenty of it, cheerfully served by the charming Edita. The walks were well chosen and Jill was as lively and as informative as ever, a true gem."

Compact and beautiful, the Isle of Wight is one of Europe's best-kept secrets, combining well-maintained and alluring footpaths and tracks with some of Britain's most magnificent views. Nowhere else in Britain can you experience such a diversity of scenery and stunning views in an area as compact as the Isle of Wight.

A walker's paradise, the Island boasts more footpaths per square mile than any other part of the country. The paths and trails are maintained in good order too! The mild climate of the Isle of Wight means that walking holidays can be enjoyed at virtually any time during the year. The stunning views change with the passing seasons.





By Train
There is a regular train service from most parts of the country, including London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour with connecting Wightlink Fast Car to Ryde Pier Head. From here the Islandline takes you to Shanklin Station.
