Late Summer Weekend on the Isle of Wight

8 places left
A weekend away on the Isle of Wight.
Come and join us on the beautiful Isle of Wight for a hopefully great late summer weekend. Our camp site for the weekend is only a 15 minute walk from the beautiful Compton Bay facing south out over the channel.
On Friday night once you have arrived, set up and cooked dinner, we'll take a walk down into the beach for the sunset.
On Saturday we'll be doing a full day walk around Isle of Wight's AONB and along the scenic coast. In the evening, as we're only a 5-minute drive into town, we'll aim to have dinner in the pub.
On Sunday after we pack up there'll be a chance to do a range of short activities between people's return boat trips.
Travel details to the island are further down the event page.
