STONE BRIDGE IN SHANKLIN CHINE.--About half-way through the Chine
the ravine is spanned by an arched Stone Bridge which, in conjunction
with the steep banks with trees and ferns, makes a fine pictorial
effect. Many of the trees are a great height, having been drawn
up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this place are
a considerable height. The stream flows along the narrow channel
under the bridge.

CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.--This charming lane leads from Shanklin
Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and
within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful
shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red
and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant
vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with
Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip
and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town.

a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the cliff
is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up in
the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls
