The Alternative Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival !

We have come up with another first for those who love to combine their walking with the pleasures of good food, real ale and the convivial atmosphere of a favourite pub.

The Isle of Wight already hosts the UK's largest walking festival but for the first time this year we will have our own alternative Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival, also running from 3rd to 18th May 2008. This aims to celebrate the fantastic pub walks boasted by the island and raise the profile of some of its best pubs for good food, real ale and friendly service.

What's more, we have timed this to coincide with not only the Isle of Wight Walking Festival but also the Isle of Wight Real Ale Festival so, for those who love pub walks, there really is no better time for an island break. So if you fancy joining the festivities this year, here is our checklist for planning your trip:
