Bonchurch, which nestles between Shanklin and Ventnor, is truly worth a visit to appreciate the quaint cottages, large imposing Victorian mansions and the delightful village pond. Built on the side of St Boniface Down, leading to the sea, Bonchurch will remind you of holidays of yesteryear. The seafront has a safe shingle and sand beach, surrounded by rocks, which the kids will love to climb over, hunting for crabs and small fish. For the adults, there are several cafes, which look out to sea and serve a variety of local seafood specialities.
Bonchurch, like Ventnor, was constructed predominantly in the Victorian years for wealthy gentry, who holidayed in the area. To the west, there is a superb walk through “The Landslip” – a coastal woodland, perched on top of the cliffs, which has been modelled by landslips and erosion. Sheltered by ancient oaks, you walk through a deep stone gorge called the Devil’s Chimney and then, once at the top, reward yourself with a cream tea!
