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

This walk is part of the IOW Ramblers Festival Day. It is part of a day which, among other things has at least three walks, with people meeting up later at the Jubilee Recreation Ground for a ‘Picnic in the Park’.
Most of this walk will follow the present Coastal Route and will show the problem that we are contesting, that this is not a true coastal route being inland and all of this section on roads and pavements. If you have a high-viz vest or jacket you may want to wear it for the walk. When we are on Brocks Copse Road and Alverstone Road then please walk in single file as there are no pavements. Additionally, please note any directives to change sides of the road in order to see and be seen on blind bends. Above all please take care.
The start time is 11.00 am from Brannon Way car park, Wootton. There are toilets at the start on Brannon Way. The numbers 9 and 4 buses run along the main road with the appropriate bus stop being ‘Tesco’. We will walk four miles, first going up along Rectory Drive, then Footways, Brocks Copse Road, Alverstone Road and then A3021 Whippingham Road to York Avenue and Jubilee Park where there will be a picnic. As can be seen from the route this walk is all on roads and pavements.
You should wear suitable clothing and carry some water.
The walk leaders are Adrian T 07768 527819 and John S-M 07919 321427.
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.
Additional Notes
Depending on the weather, consider suitable, clothing, footwear, walking poles, sun cream, drinks, and food. Watch out for ticks and remove ASAP. If you are unsure about your ability to undertake this walk, please contact the walks leader. If you need to leave the walking group, please ensure you inform the leader or back marker.
Please note that there may be short sections of road walking, so please walk in a single file and take good care.
