The climb is a bit steep, but the views are expansive, over land and sea. Don't be afraid, just respect the cows, goats, and dogs. Today they were all friendly and well-disposed.

The Grade II listed Yarborough monument was erected in 1849 by public subscription in memory of Charles Anderson Pelham, 2nd Earl of Yarborough. After his sudden death in 1846, the committee of the Squadron proposed a ‘Nautical Monument’ or ‘Sea Mark’ in his memory and contributed £200 towards the cost – the Yarborough Monument was the result. This was originally been erected further to the west on top of the Bembridge Down but was moved to its current position in 1867 to make way for the Bembridge Down Fort There's a cafe across the road with seating - hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks plus The Culver Haven Inn

The Yarborough Monument is a huge memorial to Charles Anderson Pelham. He was the 2nd Earl of Yarborough and said to be very popular among islanders, indeed the obelisk was paid for by public donations. It can be seen for miles around.

Officially called Bonchurch Landslip, this area of enchanted woodland has grown up since Victorian times over a land slide. It's easy to think you are in a magical rainforest or somewhere far more exotic than the south coast of England. Favourite features are the Wishing Seat and the Devil's Chimney, a set of steps hewn into a gap between two rocky outcrops.

It's high, but it's worth the climb. On a good day you can see all the way to the Isle of Portland to the west and even to France to the south. St Boniface Down is home to the highest point on the Isle of Wight. The trig point, just north of here stands at 241m.

Arguably one of the best views on the Isle of Wight, from Shanklin Down you can see all the way out to the Nab Tower lighthouse in the east, out to the Needles Headland in the west and even over the Solent to the mainland.
