Slow Ways linking Sandown and Bembridge, Brading, Newport (Isle of Wight), Shanklin
England / Isle of Wight / Sandown
Sandown’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Sandown
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Sandown’s Slow Ways.

This route starts in Shanklin town centre - shops, loos, bus and rail routes all available here. The route joins the Isle of Wight coastal path just outside the town centre and you walk the cliff path between the two towns....

This is a lovely route, mainly flat and very attractive, but it it does have the disadvantage of crossing marshland which becomes almost impassable during the winter months, although it was dry on the day I walked it in April. It is possible to skirt around the edge of the marsh if necessary but sturdy walking boots/wellies would still be essential....
