A Walk On The Mild Side

There are several walking trails that offer a unique blend of sights. For example, a stroll through Parkhurst Forest can be startlingly quiet. If you venture off the path, the forest becomes dark and seemingly impenetrable. If you prefer something more exerting, visit St. Catherine's Oratory. At 777 feet, it's the second-highest point on the island. (Bring your walking shoes, because the trail is a steep climb.) For a trail that's perfect to take with a companion, visit Ventnor Park. The path is leisurely and includes a bird aviary, a running stream, putting green and beautiful, lush gardens.

Sights, Sounds and Village Life

If you ask some of the residents, they'll point you to a few quaint, nearly picturesque villages on the Isle. One of them is called Shanklin Old Village. Here, you can wander amongst some of the island's oldest houses. You'll also find small, charming gift shops and delightful tea shops. Near this village, you can stroll through the Rylstone Gardens. One of its many charms is that it's sparsely-visited. There's no place to park your car, so reaching the park requires walking. Once you're there, you should take time to explore the Rylstone Tea Rooms and Manor House where a brass band often plays.

After milling about Shanklin Old Village and the Rylstone Gardens, take a quick trip to Godshill. This village offers pubs, restaurants (some on the island claim a couple of the restaurants are haunted) and a captivating Toy Museum. If you're in the mood for a drink, but want to avoid the crowded pubs, visit Cask & Taverners. It's often deserted in the front and offers a quiet place for you to relax.

Vacationing On The Isle Of Wight
