We have teamed up with The RSPCA and hosting the Great Isle of Wight dog walk.

The morning walk will involve a ride on a vintage steam train to the start of a dog-friendly 3 mile walking route. Your vintage carriage, dating from the Victorian or Edwardian era, awaits, hauled by a magnificent steam locomotive.

Train Ride & Dog Walks
Guided Walks: Wootton to Havenstreet – 3 miles (5km)

Trains depart 10:15 and 14:52

Meet at Havenstreet station in good time to collect your tickets and board your steam train for the journey to Wootton station. Our route takes us through Briddlesford Woods, largely owned by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species and home to dormice and red squirrels. We’ll cross over the railway line at Woodhouse Crossing, then make our walk back to Havenstreet station via Great Briddlesford Farm.

Treat your pet to a commemorative tag and enjoy some dog-related fun and games, including a Family Dog Show organised by the Friends of the Animals. Enter one of the classes on the day for just £3 per dog per class.
