The Isle of Wight has been named as one of the best places in the UK and Europe for a family walking holiday.

With golden beaches and dinosaur footprints stamped in ancient rock, The Telegraph says the Island knows how to tempt kids out onto two feet.

Compiling a list of ten places, the national newspaper looked at the best options for families around Europe.

On the Island, it gave a special mention to one walk in particular - the Tennyson Trail.

The article says: "Child-friendly trails criss-cross the Island and a firm favourite is the seven-mile track across Tennyson Down.

"It leads out to the white-chalk stacks of the Needles and the amusements of Alum Bay, which include fairground rides, glass blowing and a chairlift down to the beach with its multicoloured sandy cliffs."

The Tennyson Trail is a seven-mile National Trust walk, which can be split into two shorter walks of three and four miles.

It is also dog-friendly.

Among the other places to feature on The Telegraph's list include the New Forest and Mont Blanc.
