Recent Testimonials about Creek Gardens
A very enjoyable holiday in a very quiet location which was perfect for our family. Not far from all the attractions on the island. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the standard of accommodation was superb. I would thoroughly recommend this holiday - we enjoyed it very much and would definitely return. Mrs I, Surbiton, Surrey - August 2007
We would just like to say the accommodation was excellent and the cleanliness was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Mrs L, Dorchester, Dorset - August 2007 |
The Isle of Wight is famous as a haven for yachtsmen from around the world. This is the marina at St Helens, The village has an enormous green which hosts cricket matches and boot sales. There's a lovely walk heading north out of St Helens over the Duver sand dunes and along the rocky coastline. Hop off the bus in St Helens at the anchor (the driver will know what you mean) and walk straight up to the harbour.

| Turn left here and head across a narrow sea wall...to the left is a pool with swans, to the right is a wonderful view over the harbour to Bembridge |
Around the coastline of the island are "chines". 'Chine' is a local word and now used only in the Isle of Wight and Dorset. It is of Saxon origin and means a deep narrow ravine, formed by water cutting through soft sandstone leading to the sea. The Island has a number of chines but the two largest are Blackgang, where very little of the original remains, due to erosion, and Shanklin, unique in the quality of its flora and fauna. With a drop of 105ft to sea level, and just over a quarter of a mile, the Chine covers an area of approximately three acres. We walked from the bottom of the chine near the sea, where we had spotted men thatching the roof of a cottage, right up to the top leading out to Shanklyn village. At the bottom of the chine is the Heritage Centre, with information, museum, shop and the inevitable tea room. Well worth a visit.
