Isle of Wight National Landscape work closely with partner organisations and landowners to improve access into the countryside. This summer you can experience:
- Improved path steps and new handrails at Gat Cliff south of Godshill
- New boardwalks in Alverstone to provide year-round access, part of the Red Squirrel Trail
- Replacement of a well-used footbridge in Chale Green
- New picnic benches at Brading Down
Making these improvements for the benefit of all involves working in partnership to ensure the natural environment is improved whilst farmland activity is supported.

Thank you to landowners, organisations and farmers for their continued support and to Isle of Wight Council Rights of Way, Natural Enterprise, National Trust and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust for undertaking the work.
The work is funded by DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) via an Access for All grant and facilitated by Isle of Wight National Landscape.
