Shanklin

Shanklin occupies a coastal slope above Sandown Bay on the Isle of Wight, in southern England. The town faces the English Channel, with its seafront, beach and traditional holiday amenities spreading below the older centre. Shanklin Chine, a wooded ravine cut by a stream on its way to the shore, has been a local attraction since the Victorian era. Above it, Shanklin Old Village preserves thatched cottages, pubs and shops that recall the resort’s earlier character. The Island Line railway links Shanklin with Ryde and the island’s ferry connections to the mainland.
