Southeast England Hiking Tours

Circumnavigating the island on The Isle of Wight Coastal Path is a fulfilling achievement over a week of walking. Almost half of the island has been designated as an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Coastal Footpath is a circular long‑distance footpath consisting of 67 miles (107 km), unfolding on public footpaths and minor lanes, with some sections along roads. It should be noted that the path does not follow the coastline all the way, but also diverts inland for long sections.

The complete South Downs Way stretches for a hundred miles over a rare large area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and follows the chalk ridge just to the north of the popular seaside towns on the Sussex and Hampshire coast. The original ‘Way’ extended the 80 miles or so between Eastbourne and Buriton near Petersfield, but was extended in the late 1980s to Winchester making it exactly 100 miles.
