As the UK’s leading adventure travel company we’re passionate about family holidays that often include exploring new areas on foot . We enjoyed the May weekends immensely and are looking forward to meeting more like-minded families from the island and beyond.” Jim Eite, Product Director, Exodus Travels 4 Welcome The Isle of Wight is a walker’s dream, being located just a few miles from the mainland and two hours from London, and offering over 500 miles of well-maintained footpaths through spectacular scenery and terrain, making it the perfect place for a walking holiday or break. With footpaths that wind through fields and forests, and around 64 miles of coast paths adjacent to some of the Isle of Wight’s most dramatic coastline and beaches. The Autumn Walking Weekend gives you the opportunity to breathe in the beautiful scenery and autumnal colours the Island has to offer. There are walks for all ages and abilities, all led by our friendly and knowledgeable leaders, who will take you on a journey of mystery, intrigue and exploration as you traverse our countryside, woodland, pastures, meadows and footpaths of the Island. This years programme tops an incredible 100 walks to choose from, with a quarter being dinosaur related! The Isle of Wight was crowned the ‘Dinosaur capital of Great Britain’ in January this year, and to support the raft of activities celebrating the Island’s incredible prehistoric history during the summer, the Autumn Walking Weekend is set to join in the celebrations, offering an incredible range of dinosaur walks, including one with Daisy Morris (the youngest Island ambassador) and her family, for a fossil hunt along the beach where she found her new species of pterosaur. Hunt for fossils with experts from Dinosaur Isle, walk with dinosaur plants at Ventnor Botanic Garden, or simply relax after a dino walk at the Enchanted Manor, for an enchanted Champagne high tea, coupled with a dinosaur quiz! For those a little younger, there is a ‘dinosaur noisy stomp’ at Appley Park, where toddlers have the chance to dress up as a dinosaurs! These are just a small sample of the dino walks we offer you this Autumn. We have our good old favourite walks in the programme, along with a range of some exciting new ones. Step back in time and follow in the footsteps of the Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Hooke, John Milne or Jimi Hendrix. Or step out on our walks from rails, Ramblers walks, exploration walks, history walks, nature walks, speed dating, foodie walks, Nordic walking, adventures and even dawn chorus walks – if you can get up early enough! 5 The Isle of Wight prepares to go Walking with Dinosaurs Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie is a major new blockbuster from BBC Earth Films and Evergreen Films, presented by Twentieth Century Fox and Reliance Entertainment in association with IM Global, the film is set for global release in December 2013. The Isle of Wight, crowned the ‘Dinosaur capital of Great Britain’ in January, has supported the summer film campaign with a raft of activities celebrating the Island’s incredible prehistoric history. From Summer 2013, Isle of Wight visitors are invited to experience a once in a lifetime journey using digital innovation to bring the Island’s history to life. Walking with Dinosaur Trail The new Walking with Dinosaur Trail, based on the ancestral links between the characters in the film and the dinosaurs on the Isle of Wight, has given visitors to the Island the chance to be seen standing alongside dinosaurs in the very place they were discovered. Visitors will encounter technology allowing them to use their smart phones and tablets to take a picture of their family and friends walking alongside the dinosaurs that roamed the Isle of Wight 130 million years ago, while at the same time learn more about their relatives – the dinosaur characters in the movie. The augmented reality app will be available to download from anywhere in the world, but will only be triggered into life at six coastal locations on the Isle of Wight. Visitors will also be able to hop on board an Island Coaster bus service that will operate along the trail during the summer holiday period. The new bus service, operated by Southern Vectis, will be adapted to carry bikes in a specially converted compartment on the lower deck. Don’t forget to view the Dinosaurs you will need the Dinosaur Island app, which can be downloaded for supported Apple and Android devices from www.visitisleofwight.co.uk/dinosaur-island/dinosaur-island-trail 6 Meteorite ONE Meet Iguanodon at Yaverland The Yaverland meteorite is close to the beach slipway at the eastern-most point of the car park. Here you’ll meet a great plant eating dinosaur called Iguanodon – a close relative of Edmontosaurus, a gentle giant who stars in Walking With Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie. Nearby, it’s just a short walk along the seafront to Dinosaur Isle, the UK’s first purpose built Dinosaur museum. Meteorite TWO Meet Polacanthus at Bonchurch Landslip Head through the Smugglers Haven car park to a grassy dell where you’ll discover the meteorite. Meet Polacanthus Fox – a plant eating species that was discovered here in 1869. It’s similar to the heavily armoured Ankylosaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus, who both star in Walking With Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie. Nearby, after viewing the dinosaur, enjoy refreshments at the Smugglers Haven tea room or check out the amazing geology of the Bonchurch Landslip. Meteorite THREE Meet Valdosaurus in Ventnor High above the Spyglass Inn on Ventnor Esplanade is La Falaise car park.

INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • Historic Environment Action Plan South-West Wight Coastal Zone
    Island Heritage Service Historic Environment Action Plan South-West Wight Coastal Zone Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for South-West Wight Coastal Zone INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. Essential characteristics of the South-West Wight Coastal Zone include the long coastline and cliffs containing fossils and archaeological material, the pattern of historic lanes, tracks and boundaries, field patterns showing evidence of open-field enclosure, valley-floor land, historic villages, hamlets and dispersed farmsteads, and vernacular architecture. The Military Road provides a scenic and historically significant route along the coast. The settlements of Mottistone, Hulverstone, Brighstone and Shorwell straddle the boundary between this Area and the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge. Historically these settlements exploited both Areas. For the sake of convenience these settlements are described in the HEAP Area document for the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge even where they fall partially within this Area. However, they are also referred to in this HEAP document where appropriate. This document considers the most significant features of the historic landscape, the most important forces for change, and the key management issues. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Occupies strip of land between West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge and coast. • Coastline within this Area stretches from Compton to Shepherd’s Chine and comprises soft, eroding cliffs with areas of landslip.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

One clause seemed directly written to me - the President was “not ex- pected to be expert in all the fields covered by the various sections." As most of you will know, unlike past Presidents who have been specialists, I am very much an ordinary member with a general interest in natural history and archaeology, but my membership over many years has widened my knowledge and kept up a spirit of inquiry. With this in mind last May I joined the general meeting exploring the ground around the glass- houses of Wight Salads, somewhere completely new to me. It proved to be two hours of continuous in- terest as we wandered by the new lakes created from the water used in the hydroponic growing system. With experts in identifying grasses, mosses, flowers, birds all to hand, and all more than willing to point out, identify and explain when I asked any question. It was a real illustration of teaching and learning in the best way.

    Habitats Regulations Assessment for the Isle of Wight Highways PFI: Appropriate Assessment January 2013 UE-0100 IoW PFI HRA AA Vinci_7_20130114JCnp 6 Assessment of Vinci Ringway Capital Scheme Proposals: South Wight Maritime SAC 6.1 Review of effects on the South Wight Maritime SAC Undercliff Drive Schemes B, C and D 6.1.1 The Screening Statement identified possible new ground water drainage as a potential source of impact on the SAC. Vinci Ringway does not propose any new drainage for these three schemes and it can be concluded that there would be no effect on the SAC or any Annex I habitats for which the SAC has been selected. Military Road, Brook Chine 6.1.2 The Brook Chine scheme proposed by Vinci Ringway involves the installation of a temporary modular 16m span pile-supported bridge to be pre-installed in the path of the regressing landslide. Coastal processes would be permitted by the new structure, to allow erosion of the landslide and regression of the coastline, and leaving the road suspended seaward of the inner cliff edge on the pile supported bridge. The drainage scheme installed by the Isle of Wight Council that takes ground water away from the landslide to the newly developed Churchill Chine will be maintained. 6.1.3 Conservation of the ecological structure and function of the vegetated sea cliff habitat present at this site is dependent upon maintaining natural coastal processes including the interaction between freshwater flows, coastal slippage and marine erosion. In addition, many of the typical species of the vegetated sea cliff habitat including the Glanville fritillary butterfly are dependent upon warm micro-climates.
