What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Rew Down's absolutely beautiful and gorgeous panoramic views of the Isle of Wight, calling it the best walk they experienced. It's a favorite for dog walkers due to the ample off-leash space. The main drawback mentioned is the very steep and narrow road leading up to some parking areas.
"BEAUTIFUL place. Fantastic view of the island and so gorgeous. We went to a few places when we stayed in ventnor but this was by far the best and most beautiful walk.
Free parking in a few parking spots. We went to the end of the road and parked in that little parking and I'm glad we did that because it's much better views that end.
Dog enjoyed his walk so much off lead."

"Such a beautiful place to walk. The views are stunning. One of our dog walking favourite places to go.
The worst part is driving up there because it's very steep and narrow!"

"As an islander I visit this location atleast once a month and walk the dog up from Wroxall via the numerous tracks, albeit some are steep and gritty with slippery rocks ect. Once at the top the vista's are stunningly beautiful. Free car 🚗 parking 🅿."
