Routes : ONCE AGAIN IT
IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN BE NEAR THE SEA AT TIMES IN THIS
AREA AND TO TAKE NOTE OF ANY SAFETY SIGNS ON THE BEACHES AND BE PARTICULARLY
CAREFUL NEAR CLIFF EDGES. ALSO THERE IS A BUSY AIRPORT IN AND ALONG
THE MARSH WALK SO PLEASE STICK TO THE PATH AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS
WITH GREAT CARE.
Marsh
Trail (approx. 6 miles)
This trail is not recommended for wheelchairs
or pushchairs as there are several stiles and the paths are uneven and
narrow in places, but the route can be good fun for children. Start at
the Pilot Boat Inn; follow the track that runs to the right of the pub
(Footpath BB19 Bembridge Trail), you will come to a cross roads, go straight
ahead where you should meet a boardwalk. The path comes out onto a road,
head right for about a quarter of a mile until you get to the gate with
a ‘Bembridge
Windmill’ sign, head down the track to the windmill, then on the
right head over the stile onto footpath BB21. Follow this path down to
the airfield where there is another stile (BB20), after a short while
you reach a crossroad, take the right (BB23). You will now be heading
along the old seawall and quay with the marsh on your right, take a sharp
right straight after the kissing gate onto a narrow path between the
private driveway and a low stonewall. At the end of the path is a gate
onto a dirt track, follow the track along to Carpenter’s Road,
turn right and head up the hill to the ‘Green’. Once past
the ‘Green’ keep following the main road round the edge of
the harbour, passing houseboats and moored yachts along the way until
you reach where you started.
