Walks for Women: The Garlic Farm

A gentle wander along countryside trails, open meadows, and peaceful woodland, perfect for a relaxed late summer walk. Welcome to Freshwalks. This Walks for Women event is part of our own vibrant business community programme and women in business are welcome to join us for some invigorating networking in the great outdoors. This monthly series offers a perfect entry level option and is ideal for those with busy diaries. Feel free to come alone - most Freshwalkers do - and you'll be warmly welcomed or invite a colleague or client along for company. Route description This gentle 6km circular walk on the Isle of Wight begins at The Garlic Farm and follows a clockwise route along the Bembridge Trail and Yar River Trail. The path meanders through peaceful countryside, passing the historic Langbridge crossing and the elegant Haseley Manor. Flat, well-maintained tracks offer wildlife-rich views, open meadows and quiet woodland, before looping back comfortably to The Garlic Farm café, making it ideal for relaxed walking and suitable for all abilities in all seasons. https://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/ Route: The Garlic Farm - Bembridge Trail - Yar River Trail - Langbridge - Haseley Manor - The Garlic Farm Distance: 6km Grade: Very Easy (more info on grading here) Max elevation: 43m / Total ascent: 34m Proposed schedule: 10:00 - Meeting, The Garlic Farm 10:15 - Walk starts 12:00 - Walk finishes, The Garlic Farm Walk leader: Claire Beasley Meeting location: The Garlic Farm, Mersley Ln, Newchurch, Sandown PO36 0NR https://w3w.co/create.jiggle.starlight Toilets: At start of the walk Parking: Free parking is provided for customers.
