**TRIP FULL and at maximum capacity** If you've missed out we have a final few spaces remaining on our Cadair Idris trip in April: https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/310082332/ If by the time you read this that trip is also full, then you can see all of our weekend trips here: https://outdooraholics.co.uk/weekendtriplist.pdf Leave mainland England behind and sail across the Solent to the **Isle of Wight — England’s largest island —** with a noticeably milder microclimate. The island averages nearly 5 hours of sunshine a day, and its chalk cliffs, sweeping downs and sea views have drawn visitors since Roman times. Queen Victoria loved it so much she built Osborne House here and spent over half a century visiting. We’ll show you the island’s **greatest coastal scenery**, including elevated **chalk ridges with panoramic sea views** and **the iconic Needles**. **📏 Key Info** • **🌙 Nights:** 2 (Fri-Sun) **• 💷 Cost:** £162 **• 🥾 Difficulty:** **[Beginner/Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** (2 hikes 4–5.5 hrs each) **• 🍽️ Meals Included:** All breakfasts, all packed lunches, Sat dinner, Sat cream tea **•** 🚆 **Public-transport viable**, both hikes start and finish at the hostel **🌟 Trip Highlights** • Explore England’s largest island with two guided coastal hikes • Enjoy a milder microclimate and around 5 hours’ sunshine/day • Walk the white-cliff coastline and ridge of **Tennyson Down** • See the famous **Needles chalk stacks** and multi-coloured **Alum Bay cliffs** • Explore beaches, downs and pretty villages of the **west Wight AONB** • Discover why this walking paradise has 500+ miles of footpaths and hosts England’s largest walking festival • Fully catered weekend including **Saturday dinner** (plus our signature post-hike cream tea) Taster video - [LINK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSggnHRTIU) **🥾 Trip Description** The Isle of Wight is a true gem — compact yet full of variety, with 60 miles of coastline ranging from sheltered bays to dramatic chalk cliffs. It became an island around 7,000 years ago when rising seas cut it off from mainland Britain, leaving a place that feels close yet distinctly different. The adventure begins with **a ferry crossing over the Solent**, giving us wide sea views before we arrive on the island. A defining feature is the chalk ridge that runs like a backbone from east to west. From its high points you can enjoy twin views: one side dropping to white cliffs and open sea, the other stretching across rolling downs. Beneath your boots, the geology shifts — chalk, greensand, clay, limestone, and sandstone — supporting rich habitats. The Isle of Wight is **one of the last British refuges of the red squirrel** and home to **43 butterfly species**. We stay in an exclusively hired **Edwardian hostel** on the quieter western side, an **Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty**. Hikes start right from the hostel, taking in flora-filled downs, secluded coves, and pretty villages. Nicknamed “Dinosaur Isle”, the island has yielded **fossils from over 20 dinosaur species** and **more than 240 Bronze Age burial mounds**. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert built Osborne House here, spending over 50 years enjoying its mild climate. The poet Lord Tennyson also lived here, inspired by the views that now bear his name. Across the weekend, we’ll walk **peaceful coastal trails**, enjoy **sweeping cliff-top panoramas**, explore **quaint harbour towns**, and discover the island’s unique blend of sea, scenery, and history. **📅 Itinerary** **Friday – Arrival** Travel from London by **train to Lymington**, short **ferry to Yarmouth**, then a brief l**ocal bus** to our exclusively hired Edwardian hostel at **Totland Bay**. Settle in, have a drink and get to know the group. Driving? Several car-ferry routes serve the island, and the hostel has private off-road parking. **Saturday – Freshwater and Yarmouth coastal town** • Distance: 16km (10 miles) • Grading: **[Beginner](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** • Ascent: 185m • Hiking time: 4.5 – 5.5 hours We begin hiking to **Freshwater Bay**, a beautiful curve of beach framed by white chalk cliffs, before following a gentle but rewarding loop. The trail takes us through leafy woodland and across a nature reserve alive with coastal birdlife. We’ll follow quiet paths to the **harbour town of Yarmouth**, with its cobbled streets, pretty waterfront, and historic pier — perfect for a short break to soak up the atmosphere. From here, we make our way back along scenic coastal stretches and open fields to the hostel, where freshly prepared cream teas followed by our group dinner await. **Sunday – The Needles and Tennyson Down circular** • Distance: 13km (8 miles) • Grading: **[Beginner/Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** \- a few hills\, but fairly short • Ascent: 325m • Hiking time: 4 – 5 hours Sunday’s hike is the showpiece — arguably the finest walking route on the island. We climb gently onto the elevated **chalk ridge of Tennyson Down**, where panoramic sea views open up in both directions. As we follow the ridge, the landscape narrows towards the island’s most famous landmark: **The Needles**, a dramatic line of chalk stacks rising from the sea. Every turn feels like the next postcard-perfect view. On the return, we keep high above the coast, passing windswept grasslands and open downs, before descending back to the hostel for our farewell. Typical finish time at the hostel: **13:45–14:45**. This marks the end of the organised trip. **🚗 Transport, Accommodation & Start Time** • The trip begins and ends at YHA Totland • Arrival is from **7pm** – no access before this time • Accessible by car or by train and ferry, with a short bus or taxi transfer.
