Tapnell Trail
For those who want a whistle-stop tour of our favourite views, the Tapnell Trail awaits.
This popular 6-mile circular walking route, runs right through the middle of Tapnell Farm. The trail leads up onto the downs, for spectacular views over the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival site, and the south coast of the Island.
This fairly gentle, six-mile walking route takes you from the centre of Tapnell Farm, crests Compton Down, then winds back beside the River Yar. Along the way, you'll enjoy spectacular views of the south coast – as well as the opportunity to stop at some of the Island's best pubs.
Stunning views.
Perfect for Dog Walks
Perfect for dog walks with the family. Then why not treat you furry friend to a treat at The Cow! Now serving Dog friendly ice cream from Rex's Range.
Enjoy the Wildlife
There are lovely views along this trail over the water and the countryside, but care is needed on the rougher sections, especially in wetter conditions when the paths may become muddy. Appropriate footwear is advised. It’s perfect for all ages and abilities, so makes a great family walk, with plenty of wildlife along the way.
