WightWays and The Water Mill at Calbourne have joined forces to launch a new Summer wellbeing experience – weekly Wednesday walks followed by a traditional cream tea at one of the Isle of Wight’s most historic locations.
Running every Wednesday from 23rd July until 1st October, the Watermill Wednesday Walk will take participants on a scenic 4-mile guided route through the beautiful Caul Bourne valley – the same stream that has powered the historic mill for over a thousand years.
Led by WightWays founder Rachel Richards, the circular walk offers a relaxed pace through shady woods, open fields and quiet country lanes before finishing with a well-earned cream tea in the Mill café.
Rachel Richards, Founder of WightWays, has said:
“We wanted to create something that blends movement, heritage, and connection.
“The Caul Bourne is a hidden gem, and the Mill provides the perfect setting to reflect, recharge, and enjoy a traditional treat in good company.”
Sally Chaucer, Managing Director of The Mill at Calbourne, has said:
“We’re delighted to be partnering with WightWays to bring the Caul Bourne and the Mill’s story to life through these guided walks. It’s a wonderful way to welcome people and celebrate the landscape that surrounds us.”
