What IS a Chine?

A Chine is a steep-sided river valley through soft eroding cliffs of Sandstone or clay. The Isle of Wight is home to at least 20 different chines including perhaps the most famous at Shanklin. Most, however, are in the AONB 'West Wight' area.

Fascinating folklore is attached to chines which have been linked to smuggling and shipwrecking.
