The Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival (October 2008) - Part 2

The Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival (October 2008) - Part 2

As readers of The Pub Walker will know, earlier this year we linked to the UK's largest walking festival to create the first Alternative Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival. This was 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.

Well, as the event was so popular, now the island is having its first Autumn Walking Festival we felt we should repeat this and again make all the Isle of Wight Pub Walks free from now until the event ends on 27th October.

So now you can once again download for free all our Isle of Wight Pub Walks from now until the Pub Walking Festival ends on 27th October.

So apart from the 47 walking festival walks, you now have 20 pub walks to choose from too! If you think that sounds like a good excuse to hop on a ferry and join the festivities, visit Alternative Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival to view our checklist for planning your trip. Hope to see you there!

The First Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival 3rd - 18th May 2008

The First Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival 3rd - 18th May 2008

The Isle of Wight is well known for hosting the UK's largest walking festival, so what better place to start for an alternative Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival?

For its size, the Isle of Wight has more than its fair share of spectacular coastal scenery and well managed footpaths with numerous pubs along the way. This makes it ideal for pub walkers and to celebrate our first "pub walking festival", MyFavouritePubWalks.com is making all its Isle of Wight pub walks free to download from today until the festival ends on 18th May.

Many more pub walks will be published on the site over the next few weeks so it will be worth revisiting to check the latest.

Add to that the island's own Real Ale Festival from 3rd - 5th May and you have the perfect excuse for a short break to the Isle of Wight.

To find out more about the three festivals and useful information on travelling to the island, visit Isle of Wight Pub Walking Festival.
