St Catherine's Lighthouse Walk

Escape to the southernmost tip of the Island to visit the Isle of Wight's only surviving lighthouse.  This walk can be a short one, starting at the Buddle Inn, heading down to lighthouse and up again via Castle Haven beach.  A walk combined with lunch at the Buddle makes a good outing and they often have live music in the garden.  The lighthouse is sometimes open for tours but worth checking opening hours beforehand.  

A much longer walk of around 3.5miles, can be found on the National Trust website if you have more energy and time on your hands! 

Facilities

- Free parking in the carpark opposite the Buddle Inn but this is for customers of the pub but there is also free on road parking nearby
