Linstone
Chine is no ordinary holiday location. The cliff-top estate, overlooking
the sea at the western end of the Isle of Wight, enjoys extensive views of the Solent and English Channel from the
Needles to the Dorset and Hampshire coasts. Many yacht races start
directly in view from the site. |
|
The
village is split into two areas:
Brambles Chine is a self catering site on a mainly level area close to the
beach, next to a playing field with sports and children's play
equipment;
Cliff End is a sloping self catering site
with stunning views of the Solent and coast, and adjoining the Fort Victoria Country Park.
The whole estate is just a few minutes' walk from the safe bathing beach of Colwell
Bay, with all the seaside facilities you would expect.
Alum bay, Blackgang Chine, Robbin Hill you must visit with children of
all ages, while the adults can walk the Tennyson way to Carisbrooke
Castle in quiet peace, even in the peak holiday season. |
|
The
Isle of Wight is known as the "Garden-Isle" because it has
it's own mild micro-climate that extends the flowering season, and allows you to find sunshine
very often when the
mainland is overcast or raining. |
|
Linstone Chine is an ideal seaside summer holiday venue for families with children, but in earlier and later months
it also forms an excellent base for walkers and cyclists to explore the Island, in small or large groups.
Hang gliders, surfers, bicycle, motorcycle and car rallies flock to the
island, in the early and late season. It is also a regular base for University students on
organized field trips for fossil hunting or geology, as a Site of
Special Scientific Interest on part of the "Dinosaur Coast".. |
