Description

Shanklin boasts a long, safe sandy beach which lies at the foot of the spectacular cliffs on which most of the town is situated. The two are connected by a cliff lift. The traditional seaside part of town blends into the picturesque thatched cottages of Shanklin Old Town at the head of the impressive Shanklin Chine. The delightful nature trail through the Chine is not to be missed and includes a surprising relic of the Second World War - a section of PLUTO - the Pipeline Under The Ocean - which was used to pump fuel under the sea to France for the Normandy landings. Although a quieter and more intimate resort than Sandown it nevertheless has its own theatre, lively pubs and entertainments.

Itinerary

Full Day Excursion to Carisbrooke Castle and Godshill
We travel along the southern edge of the island before turning inland to Carisbrooke Castle (entrance included in the tour cost). Here Charles 1 was imprisoned and it is also famous for its Donkey Centre. We continue via Newport, capital of the island. Returning via the picturesque village of Godshill.

Full Day Excursion to Alum Bay and Cowes
We journey across the island to Alum Bay, famous for its coloured sands. Nearby are the magnificent chalk Needles, the remains of a ridge which once joined the island to the mainland. Returning via Britain's yachting capital, Cowes.

Half Day Excursion to Rosemary Vineyard and Ryde
We travel along the eastern coast and have a fascinating vineyard visit (included in the tour cost) before continuing to Ryde. Ryde offers many shops and a splendid pier with outstanding views across the busy Solent.
