Isle of Wight – Shanklin
Shanklin boasts a long, safe sandy beach which lies at
the foot of the spectacular cliffs on which most of the
town is situated. The two are connected by a cliff lift.
The traditional seaside part of town blends into the
picturesque thatched cottages of Shanklin Old Town
at the head of the impressive Shanklin Chine. The
delightful nature trail through the Chine is not to be missed and includes a
surprising relic of the Second World War - a section of PLUTO, the Pipeline
Under The Ocean, which was used to pump fuel under the sea to France
for the Normandy landings. Although a quieter and more intimate resort
than Sandown it nevertheless has its own theatre, lively pubs and
entertainments.
Gracellie Hotel
Shanklin
Shanklin’s newest refurbished hotel
and a stone’s throw from the beach
which is reached from an elevated
position. The ‘Gracellie’ has an
outdoor heated swimming pool at the
rear which is a sun-trap in summer
and has a beautiful front garden. The
ground floor lounge bar provides
entertainment on most nights and
there is another quiet lounge on the
first floor. The restaurant and
reception lead to an exterior patio,
which offers a bar service throughout
the day. Meals are waiter-served with
a choice of menu. Bedrooms are on
three floors with some ground floor
rooms available. All have bath or
shower and WC, telephone and
tea/coffee making facilities. No lift.
