We are the Isle of Wight Ramblers. We arrange walks, monitor paths and help our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We meet in Brighstone outside Wilberforce Hall, and climb up the down towards Coombe Farm, then we'll visit an island curiosity, a barn with ships scratched in the chalk walls at Rock. From there we'll walk over to Grammar's Common, cross over Strawberry Lane across to the Long Stone at Mottistone. We'll walk down past Mottistone Manor and Gardens (not open for visiting at this time of year) and across to the coast path, back along to Chilton Chine, where we'll head inland again back to Brighstone, via the dragon tree.
We shall be on a mix of byways, bridleways, footpaths, and some walking on lanes (single file, please). The route may need to be adjusted depending on weather, cliff falls, etc. We shall be climbing up to the downs, so it may be steep and slippery. There is refreshment and WC available close to the start/finish. There is a car park down Warnes Lane (where the public WC is located). Nearest bus stop is Three Bishops/Moortown Lane on the no12 bus route, and the start time allows for arrival from Newport on the 9.29 bus or from Totland on the 9.30 bus. If anyone is arriving by bus, please let leader know so we can check for delays/your arrival.
New walkers welcome. If you are new to the Ramblers you can just turn up for any of our walks, unless we specify otherwise. We invite you to come along for three walks as a non-member.
