Ventnor’s three Slow Ways are 58% checked
Help connect Ventnor
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 Ventnor’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)....

Crossing the Isle of Wight were tourist don’t trend still much...
Richard Eltringham
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!)...

noplacelike_it added Vensha two, a new walk from Ventnor to Shanklin
Walk this routeLargely traffic-free and generally direct route between Newport & Ventnor. Between Wroxall and Ventnor, Rew Lane offers a flatter alternative direct route which does not require the descent of steps described above....

I walked this from Shanklin to Ventnor as part of a longer Isle of Wight trek and it was very beautiful (even after the clouds rolled in and completely engulfed me on the hilltop!)....

I'd just warn that around Limerstone Down the path can be very tricky to find and follow, so I might recommend (if walking Ventnor to Yarmouth) sticking to the dirt road on the top of the down instead of following the Slow Way down the side of the hill, then using the path labeled Pumpfold Lane or the one directly to its east to get back down off the Down again....
mtormey
Walk is very accessible - mostly on tarmac or gravel road between Newport and Merstone, on the old railway line. Amenities in Godshill. Steep steps on the down descending into Ventnor....
Steven Sales
Most of the Newport end of route is simple, flat and accessible....
