Away from the bustling seaside resorts, you'll find pretty lanes and thatched villages waiting to welcome you - and, it's said, there's a pub for almost every square mile on the island.
Over 500 miles of carefully maintained footpaths offer plenty of scope to explore the island's unique attractions. The guide features historic buildings like the remarkable 14th-century lighthouse near Chale, Bembridge windmill and the town hall at Newtown, which dates from the days of England's infamous rotten boroughs.
These pocket guide books provide the ideal companion for day trips, short walks and holidays.
As well as providing information on key points of interest along the route, the guides also provide a number of fun observation question for children, plus:
- Clear and easy-to-follow directions
