I booked a week off in June and the plan was a couple of days before wanting to go away we would check where the best weather was in the UK and head there in our campervan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Thursday night before finishing up for work on the Friday, we were checking various weather Apps, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/locations\/south-east\/\">South of England<\/a> was looking for the best in a particular the <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/tag\/isle-of-wight\/\">Isle of Wight<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-sunset-from-yarmouth-e1752852498899-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Wight Walking Guidebook Review - sunset from yarmouth\" class=\"wp-image-16258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-sunset-from-yarmouth-e1752852498899-edited.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-sunset-from-yarmouth-e1752852498899-edited-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-sunset-from-yarmouth-e1752852498899-edited-768x324.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunset from Yarmouth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather decided for us! Me, my wife, and the dog (Rocky) were all now heading to the Isle of Wight. Given that Ordnance Survey head office is in Southampton, and I travel regularly to the office, but I had never actually been the Isle of Wight. I had only seen it in the distance from Southampton or the New Forest before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-the-ferry-to-the-isle-of-wight\">Getting The Ferry to the Isle of Wight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We headed down from Edinburgh on the Sunday in the camper, with a few pitstops along the way to break up the journey. We couldn\u2019t get booked onto any ferries last minute on Thursday, so we decided to stay in Romsey on the Sunday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We booked into a dog friendly inn on the Sunday evening to enjoy a roast and dog walk on the River Test ahead of an early start for the 07:30 ferry to the Isle of Wight on the Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-famous-needles-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Wight Walking Guidebook Review - famous needles\" class=\"wp-image-16259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-famous-needles-edited.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-famous-needles-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-famous-needles-edited-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The famous Isle of Wight Needles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We woke up at 05:30 to get up and sorted and then headed ferry terminal in Southampton. With only a 45 minute &#8211; 1 hour crossing it was ideal, as you felt you were going somewhere different as opposed to staying on the mainland. Once off the ferry, we headed to Newport and stocked up on food supplies for the week ahead. We decided to be self-sufficient for breakfast and lunch but enjoy meals out in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_ea958cfb25a0199e104024ec88c53d04\" class=\"BigCommerce BigCommerce--no-products default pt-default pb-default mt-none mb-none     BigCommerce--slider \"  data-color-scheme=\"default\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"BigCommerceBanner\">\n\n\n\t<div class=\"BigCommerceBanner__content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"BigCommerceBanner__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"393\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/untitled-design-1.png\" class=\"BigCommerceBanner__product-img\" alt=\"OS Guidebooks and Maps\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/untitled-design-1.png 393w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/untitled-design-1-248x300.png 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"BigCommerceBanner__subheading\">\n\t\t\t\tEXPLORE THE\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"BigCommerceBanner__heading\">\n\t\t\t\tOS Shop\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"BigCommerceBanner__description\">\n\t\t\t\tWe are with you every step of the way.\u00a0Shop our trusted walking and hiking maps and guidebooks\u2028so you can explore the outdoors with confidence.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/\" class=\"Button Button--orange \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGo to the shop\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"BigCommerceProductsBox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper BigCommerceProductsSwiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper Products\" data-products=\"6521,6518,2119,3037\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-between align-items-center swiper-navigation\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center BigCommerce__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/\" class=\"Button Button--orange \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGo to the shop\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plenty-of-inspiration-for-a-week-of-dog-walking\">Plenty of Inspiration for a week of dog walking!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-pathfinder-guide-in-bag-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Wight Walking Guidebook Review - pathfinder guide in bag\" class=\"wp-image-16260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-pathfinder-guide-in-bag-edited.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-pathfinder-guide-in-bag-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-pathfinder-guide-in-bag-edited-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our plans for the week ahead were about exploring the islands coast and countryside with lots of dog walking. And you can\u2019t forget about the food which fuels you for all the walking.

Above The Needles is Old Battery and the New Battery, a Victorian fort and gun battery which was used during both world wars. At the top of Alum Bay is The Needles Landmark Attraction, which reminded of me of a classic seaside resort with mini golf and food\/snack stalls. The day was heating up and it just hit 12 noon, we treated ourselves to a Mr Whippy with a flake before the walk down the many steps down towards Alum Bay beach.

We picked a campsite which was only a 5-minute drive away from Freshwater Bay, mainly because it had a \u201cbark park\u201d for our dog Rocky to run around in off lead.

We noticed that Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary was dog friendly, so hence wanting to take Rocky to visit the Donkeys. This walk is a lovely loop of the countryside around Wroxall and takes you through the centre of the Donkey Sanctuary. The Donkey Sanctuary is free to enter, and you can make a donation if you wish. Rocky loved meeting other fury 4 legged friends of the donkey variety. They also have a super caf\u00e9 in the sanctuary and of course we stopped for a coffee and cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-me-rocky-with-donkeys-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctury\" class=\"wp-image-16251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-me-rocky-with-donkeys-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-me-rocky-with-donkeys-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-me-rocky-with-donkeys-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-me-rocky-with-donkeys.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bembridge is a coastal village on the eastern side of the island and offers views out towards The Solent and Portsmouth in the distance. Walk 10 from the Isle of Wight Pathfinder is called Around Bembridge.

One of the most impressive things about visiting Bembridge is its RNLI station, the station has two buildings, and they are connected by a pier, housing inshore and offshore lifeboats. Where you park to start the walk there is perfectly situated coffee shop that operates from a trailer parked on the grass. A great place to enjoy a cold drink after a walk on such a warm day and take in the sea views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-bembridge-walk-10-view-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Bembridge walk\" class=\"wp-image-16262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-bembridge-walk-10-view-edited.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-bembridge-walk-10-view-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-bembridge-walk-10-view-edited-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-isle-of-wight-pathfinder-guide-walk-15\">Isle of Wight Pathfinder Guide &#8211; Walk 15<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk 15 from the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-os-pathfinder-guides\/\">Isle of Wight Pathfinder<\/a> is called Niton, St Catherines Point and Blackgang heads around the most southern point on the island.

We did come across a strategically located ice cream van here when we completed this walk and enjoyed another well-deserved ice cream in the sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godshill was recommended to by a friend as a place to visit on the island, Godshill is charming village between Newport and Ventnor. Claimed to be the home of cream tea on the Isle of Wight. There several popular tea gardens along the main road of the village, we picked one based on amount of sunshade for the dog to get out of the sun for a little. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-winkle-street-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-winkle-street-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-winkle-street-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-winkle-street-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/isle-of-wight-walking-guidebook-review-winkle-street.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cream tea did not disappoint, a fruit scone with jam, cream, and strawberries, what isn\u2019t to like!

I don\u2019t know who enjoyed this trip more of us as the dog owners or Rocky! And of course, we made Rocky get some pictures outside by the Pointer Inn sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We drove back from the Isle of Wight to Edinburgh including the ferry in one day. It was a long day back with some pitstops to break the journey up. But the trip was well worth the long drive there and back! I was really chuffed with how dog friendly the Isle of Wight was, lots of restaurants and shops \u2013 welcoming our 4-legged friends. If you love costal walks with good places to eat and drink, then the Isle of Wight is a must for you! While driving back I was thinking about what cider or beer I would have 1<sup>st<\/sup> after my visit to the Cider barn! A kind of well done to me for the long drive back! Haha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope the information above, helps inspire a future trip to the Isle of Wight!
