Beneath the Sky, Beyond the Sea

What happens when you slow down enough to listen to the land beneath your feet?

In Beneath the Sky, Beyond the Sea, Chris Hammans takes readers on an unforgettable walking journey across the Isle of Wight - a landscape shaped by tides, time, and quiet resilience. Armed with sturdy boots, a sense of humour, and an open heart, Chris sets out not simply to complete a route, but to rediscover an island he thought he already knew.

Over 60 miles, he wanders through clifftop paths, hidden woodlands, salt marshes, villages with stories etched into every brick, and beaches where the sea tells its own tale. Along the way, he encounters eccentric locals, moments of solitude, unexpected beauty, and the kinds of quiet revelations that only come when you walk with no deadline.

​​​​​​​Whether you're a seasoned walker, an admirer of slow travel, or simply someone craving a new way to look at the world, this book is a companion for the trail - and an invitation to begin your own.
