From Brighstone to Niton

(S) Follow Limerstone Road. Walk through the churchyard (to avoid the road) and turn right into Rectory Lane. Cross Wicken Hill Lane.

(1) Cross the main road (A3055) and turn left at the top of the cliff to join the Coastal Path.

(2) Turn right for 200m and then turn left to go around Chine Farm campsite. Keep to the left of the Holiday Park as the Coastal Path is closed at Sheperd's Chine. Turn right onto the A3055 for 300m. Turn right at Stocks Cross and walk up the flanks of Shepherd's Chine.

(3) Rejoin the Coastal Path.

(4) Go around the Whale Chine for 200m along the road and rejoin the Coastal Path. At Chale, turn right and follow the Coast Path again. Follow the Terrace for less than 100m.

(5) Turn left between two properties and rejoin the main road for 500m. 100m after the roundabout, turn right to rejoin the Coastal Path and bear left. Enjoy the panoramic views of the sea, Blackgang and St Catherine's Point and continue southwest along the Coastal Path to arrive at Niton (E).

Good walking shoes, a warm and waterproof jacket, sticks, food and water are recommended. The coastal path is well signposted. However, we recommend that you check your position on the map using the Visorando app. You are encouraged to use the Coastal Path diversions wherever signposted, as parts of the Coastal Path have been eroded and are not accessible.

Most of the walk is on a good track, although occasionally you will walk on a road.

There is a good bus service at all the starting and finishing points.

Kids can enjoy the fun park at Blackgang Chine.
