Shanklin Chine

Enjoy the unique tranquillity of the Isle of Wight's oldest tourist attraction Shanklin Chine, which has been open since 1817! A famous leafy gorge that is much loved by writers, poets and artists for years, and once you visit, you'll see why.

When you wander through the tranquil setting of this historic gorge, take time to just sit and look and listen. You are in a magic world of natural beauty, a rich haven of rare plants, winding woodland, varied wildlife, and enchanting waterfalls! Dogs on leads are welcome, so you can even bring the family pooch along to enjoy this wonderful place.
