Overview

Please join me to check the Walk the Wight route and report any problems we find. This is stage 3 of four walks in March and April.

This linear walk with a lunch stop, goes to Carisbrooke, then follows a quiet route to finish in the centre of Newport. The No 8 bus runs between Newport and Arreton, I aim to catch the 1.40pm bus from Newport Bus Station back to Arreton Barns where my car will be parked.   

Do bring some drink and food for lunch.
