a beautifully landscaped trail that takes you past cattle and sheep pastures. You have a great view of the sea and over the Downs. The path also leads through a small forest. Simply great!

At start of trail, on Freshwater golf course, follow main wide path up hill, not path to the left next to fence.

First half of Tennyson trail is also part of the Chalk Ridge Extreme cycle route, suitable for experienced mountain bikers.

This hiking trail on the Isle of Wight was named after Alfred Lord TENNYSON, a prominent poet of the 19th century (born 1809, died 1892). His literary work was so enthusiastically received by the public that Queen Victoria knighted him - making him the 1st Baron Tennyson - and he was given the honorary office of 'Poet Laureate'. His influence on later literature is evident, for example, in the fact that the 'Queen of Crime', Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (Lady Mallowan), takes up his work "The Lady of Shalott" in one of her crime novels: "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side". Not only is the title a quote from that work, but Miss Jane Marple is also reminded of the "Lady of Shalott" several times in the story and quotes from it.
