A circular walk from Ventnor along some less known footpaths behind the town, climbing 200m steeply up to St Boniface Down through the National Trust open access land. From there we'll drop to Luccombe, then Shanklin for refreshment, before following a section of Worsley Trail up to Shanklin Down, walking back to Ventnor past the radar station.
Some of the paths are narrow and steep. There may be some stiles and we shall pass through some livestock grazing, and nesting grassland, where dogs will need to be on a short lead. Paths may be muddy and slippery, depending on the weather leading up to the walk. Check the forecast for weather on the day and dress appropriately. We'll be stopping for lunch on the front in Shanklin, please bring your own refreshment or money to buy locally (many options). We'll be walking on town roads some of the way in both Ventnor and Shanklin.
