Parks & Nature
I'm mentioning bonchurch because I'd like to recommend (if you're able-bodied and like a good walk) the Coastal Path walk from Shanklin to Ventnor through the landslip, past Devils Chimney. It can take aprox. an hour and a half, best if it's not rainy as it gets muddy and then you need good boots :) you can get the number 3 bus back from Ventnor town it goes every half hour or so check the timetable at http://www.islandbuses.info/

If you like a good walk and would like to get up high and look down over Shanklin and Sandown and across the Island to Ryde and the mainland beyond. Start at St Blasius Church in Shanklin, there's a free car park or it's a 15-minute walk through the town from us. Head through the churchyard and follow the sign over the style and through the gate into the fields beyond. Follow the well-trodden footpath that takes you up and up to the small cement tumuli where you can sit and take in the amazing views. Take water. It's quite steep in places, suitable for the able-bodied. Allow aprox. 45 mins to walk from the Isle of Yoga to the top,(this depends greatly on fitness! :)
There are various walks from here to Ventnor for example. I would recommend using a map or google.

A very beautiful little cove with old-world charm, a number of cafes and a restaurant encircle the small cove, selling locally caught seafood and fresh crab pasties, also ice creams and teas. Access to the cove is made via a 25-minute walk from Ventnor Esplanade and Beach along the coast path. Or a steeper descent down Love Lane which runs past Ventnor cricket club. It is also possible to get to Steephill Cove by walking from the back of the Ventnor Botanic. (Charges apply if parking at the Botanic Gardens).
The clue is in the name: it's down/up a steep hill!
