Access guidance
- As Shanklin Chine is carved by mother nature some of the pathways are uneven and unsuitable for those with mobility issues. This means that wheelchair, motorised wheelchairs, mobility scooter users and those pushing buggies/ prams will have limited access around the Chine. The accessible entrance to Shanklin Chine is via the Esplanade (sea front). Due to the limited access around The Chine we have reduced entry rates for those who cannot access the entire Chine.
- Please note there are toilets including disabled and baby change facilities within the Chine by the Tea Room. BUT for customer comfort if you are arriving at the Old Village Entrance it may be worth using the facilities in Rylstone or Tower Cottage Gardens before entering the Chine as our toilets are some distance away from the top entrance.
- guide dogs are welcomed and all dogs are allowed into the Chine but must be kept on a lead at all times. Owners must ensure they clean up after their dogs.
- Please note that the Chine may on occasions, when the weather is bad, have to close, sometimes at extremely short notice. We apologise in advance for the inconvenience but for the health and safety of staff and visitors and the real risk of landslides and falling debris we cannot always remain open during high winds and rain.
