Lin has clocked up many miles walking all over the Island, and blogs about them on her website.
WALK 6
Ventnor to Lower Hyde Shanklin- 5.3 miles / 2 hours
This is an alternative walk between Ventnor and Shanklin which doesn't take the usual route along the Landslip or over the downs, both of which are pretty much out of the question in winter! So this is paved all the way to Lower Hyde, the western side of Shanklin.
Start the walk on Mitchell Avenue in Ventnor, or the number 3 bus stop outside Island Free School in Upper Ventnor.
REFRESHMENTS: there are pubs and shops in Wroxall and Shanklin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lin wrote up the walk quite some years ago. The Star Pub in Wroxall is now Smoking Jacks.
