There are few places on the Isle of Wight, let alone England, that can boast such a tranquil and picturesque location. The Chine truly is a natural spectacle, carved by Mother Nature’s own hands over thousands of years. It cuts its way from Shanklin Old Village to the sandy beach and Esplanade far below…and is the perfect place to spend a lazy morning, afternoon or evening.

Shanklin Chine is a charitable trust and relies on donations throughout the year to keep this stunning, historic attraction running. View seasonal exhibitions, the Antiques Centre and visit the Tea Room for Cream and Savoury Teas, light snacks and cakes and lots more. There’s something for visitors of all ages at the glorious Chine.

Wander amid the natural tranquility until dusk when the Chine transforms into a magical wonderland as hundreds of lights illuminate the narrow paths, streams and waterfalls.

Shanklin Chine offers a 7 day unlimited return visit from the date of ticket purchase - so you can see the Chine during the day and come back for the evening illuminations free of charge.
