Shanklin is a popular seaside town in the South of the Isle of Wight and is the sunniest place in England. The seafront with sandy beaches, crazy golf, amusement arcades and cafes is a few minutes' drive from our caravan.
Shanklin town centre has a wide range of shops and cafes, and Shanklin Old Village, with its thatched tea-rooms, pubs and gift shops, is very popular. Rhylstone Tea Gardens has crazy golf and award-winning gardens - you might even see red squirrels! Also visit Shanklin Chine, a tree lined gorge with waterfall, which has been a tourist attraction for over 200 years - visit again in the evening when the chine is lit up.
Shanklin also has a lovely traditional theatre, where many famous comedians, bands and others perform.
Frequent bus services operate from Shanklin town centre to other parts of the island, although, you may prefer to drive. Shanklin railway station is opposite the site entrance and has trains running to Sandown, Brading and Ryde.
