A Mottistone Meander: South to the Sea, Mottistone
Loops through gentle farmland and down to Brighstone Bay's shingle beach, mixing open fields with coastal views. Mostly flat with one moderate descent to the shore. Great for families—paths are well-maintained though the beach section isn't buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The payoff is standing where rolling downland meets the Solent, with fossil-hunting opportunities on the beach and National Trust tea rooms back at Mottistone Manor.
