샬레 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Here on the A3055 Blackgang Road, just east of St. Catherines Point, is a car park and viewpoint. There is ample parking and a few benches there. You have fine coastal views too, especially to the northwest towards The Needles. You might find an ice cream van there too in the summer months.

Known locally as the Pepperpot, St Catherine's Oratory is a medieval lighthouse. You can go into the tower during daylight hours and is cared for by The English Heritage.

A handy place to take a break with enchanting views from the Upper Cliffs.

From this vantage point you have an uninterrupted view of St Catherine's Lighthouse and just to the west is Knowles Farm. A light started burning here in 1323 but the lighthouse was not built until 1838. As the original light emanated from a chapel, after the reformation this was no longer funded which led to a 300 year break in warning seafarers about this dangerous stretch of coastline.

Take a moment to enjoy the peace and tranquility at St John the Baptist Church. Outside, the 19th century celtic cross is very impressive, while inside the font dates back to Norman times.

The White Lion is the Isle of Wight's oldest pub and is very welcoming to walkers and their four legged friends. It was built in 1454 and there is some suggestion it could even be the oldest pub in England. The pub once had a thatched roof and photos of this and others of the village in days gone by are on display inside. If its good weather, you can make use of their lovely beer garden

The gradual gradient up to here from Niton is worth it for these countryside views.

Good pub, good staff, nice selection of good quality food and light bites (not just your usual heavy pub meals)
