Shanklin’s three Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Shanklin
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 Shanklin’s Slow Ways.

The coast path in this area is prone to landslip; sadly there are now two diversions due to landslide, and I feel a new version is needed (until the next one)....

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....
Almighty Custard
A beautiful route - sea and lush almost tropical woodland. A short detour off this route can take you up the devil’s chimney which is worth seeing. Definitely one of the best walks on the Isle of Wight (though there’s a lot to chose from!)...
