Steephill
Cove,
Ventnor,
Isle
of Wight.
Steephill Cove is situated approximately 1 mile west from
the Victorian coastal resort of Ventnor and nestles beneath
the Ventnor Botanic Gardens which are located on the cliff
tops behind. The cove is one of the few English coves with
no vehicular access, so to discover this beautiful area, you
will need to park your car either in the Botanic Gardens car
park or the private car park on the eastern side of Ventnor
Cricket Club.
Steephill Cove is "picture postcard" pretty and is a natural
cove which is fringed by a row of cottages, a scene which
has barely changed over generations and where time seems to
have stood still. The cove is a traditional bucket and
spade resort where at low tide there is a beach and rocks
for children and adults alike to climb over and explore.
Steephill offers safe bathing with a gently sloping beach.
For less active people who just want to worship the sun,
there are deck chairs and weather permitting, you can watch
the local fishermen land their daily catch.
