Quarr Abbey Walk: Afternoon

Quarr Abbey’s afternoon walk offers a one-hour guided look at the abbey and surrounding landscape on Saturday 3 October.

Presented by Isle of Wight Walking Festival

At Quarr Abbey, Quarr Abbey Walk: Afternoon runs on Saturday 3 October. The published times run from 14:30 to 15:30, a one hour session.

The afternoon session offers a separate one-hour walk around Quarr Abbey and its surroundings. It works for a slower start to Saturday or for visitors building the abbey into a wider east Wight day. The 14:30 start suits visitors who want a slow Saturday morning or lunch before joining the guide. One hour keeps the focus on a small area instead of turning the abbey visit into a long hike. Quarr remains a working Benedictine abbey, with modern buildings, older ruins and grounds near the Fishbourne ferry route. The mix gives a short walk several periods and purposes to explore.

Advance booking secures the place, and donations are welcomed on the day. The walk runs from 14:30 to 15:30, leaving time to look around Quarr Abbey before or after the guided hour. The source does not publish mileage, terrain or access information, so confirm those points if they affect your visit. More Island walking events run that weekend, including longer routes for people who want more distance. This afternoon edition stands apart from the morning session through timing alone; you do not need to attend both.
