Mottistone Estate (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
There's lots of variety to explore on the Mottistone Estate which stretches from the chalk downs through rolling hedge-lined farmland to the sea. This is a great place to walk, with many well-marked paths to choose from and good expanses of open downland to wander freely over. There is evidence of human occupation on the Estate, going back 6,000 years to Neolithic times. The wildlife of the estate has adapted to thousands of years of farming, and because the land is farmed in an environmentally sensitive way, the area is full of farmland birds and other wildlife.
About the area
Small and intimate – at just 23 miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Wight is a popular holiday destination; with its mild climate, long hours of sunshine and colourful architecture, it has something of a continental flavour. Visitors can walk along the island’s varied coastline using the well-established Coast Path or step back in time to explore the island’s history at some of the forts and castles.
