The Isle of Wight has more than 500 miles of carefully maintained public rights of way, a network providing access to most of its 147 square miles of glorious coast and countryside. Over half of the Island has been designated by the Countryside Commission as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are almost 30 miles of 'Heritage Coast' a designation applied to coastlines of only the highest quality in England and Wales.The diversity of this unspoilt landscape makes walking a delight. Discover the panoramic views from the high downs, much of which are in the care of the National Trust, the tranquility of ancient forests, the picturesque farms and villages nestling in fertile valleys and some 60 miles of stunning, unspoilt coastline.In 1998 the Isle of Wight Council was the first authority in England to achieve the Countryside Commission's National Target for Rights of Way.
We couldn't say it better ourselves! This is why we're here, in Bonchurch Manor, 200m from the Landslip, 500m from the coastal path, situated in 3 acres of landscaped grounds, overlooking the sea.
