Overview

This walk is part of the Broxtowe Ramblers Group holiday to the Isle of Wight

The walk begins by taking the Island Line train from Shanklin to Smallbrook Junction. We then take the Heritage Steam Railway to the terminus at Wooton. From there we will follow the coastal path through Wooton, Fishbourne and Quarr Abbey before returning to Ryde to catch the train back to Shanklin.
