Cheverton Copse Holiday Park

Piles of Isle of Wight pursuits are within five to 10 minutes' drive of here, including Sandown Zoo, The Garlic Farm and the Robin Hill Country Park (don't be fooled by the name: it's a fab theme park). Arreton Barns Craft Village, with shops, pubs, exhibitions and a brass rubbing centre, is also within 10 minutes. If you'd rather see it all by air (but of course), a grass aerodrome is next to the park for pleasure flights in an aeroplane or helicopter. No? The island's extensive network of bridleways and footpaths can be accessed directly from the park. Also Wightly famed nearby is Dinosaur Isle a couple of miles away, the comely Isle of Wight Steam Railway, amusing oneself on the pier at Shanklin Bay, meeting the red squirrels of Shanklin Chine, or shooting along to the amusement park in a Victorian garden of Blackgang Chine. Fishing, horse riding and golf are close by too; a sports centre with two indoor pools is just over a mile away.
