The Cowes Rope Walk (or the Boat Trail) was originally set out by Cowes Community Partnership and East Cowes Community Partnership. It’s a trail around both towns linking many of the great heritage sites that are here.
You can wander round the two towns and find out a bit about their history and some other interesting facts. You can start the walk on either side of the river and at any point.
Look out for the tiles on the pavements and walls.
Download the original Island 2000 trail pdf – nice looking but a bit out of date.
A more up-to-date and mobile-friendly version is here.
