the perfect summer destination: sandown airfield and surrounding area
by
jill cowles
sandown airfield restauarant
on a sunny afternoon, it's a safe bet that half the flying folk
of shoreham are visiting sandown on the isle of wight. the new clubhouse opened
in 2005, offering a varied choice of menu. with an attractive viewing area,
sandown airport is a pleasant place to visit, whether as a pit stop or for
a longer stay. ian perry of southern flying centre uses this field as a destination
for his summer fly-outs.
the landing fee of £10 for light singles won't leave you out of pocket. both
sandown and shanklin are within walking distance; the elegant resort of ventnor
is slightly further away (10-15 mins by taxi). the pace of life is slower
on the island; somehow you feel it almost as soon as you've landed. if you're
staying, sandown makes a good base for visiting the surrounding villages,
such as brading, where there's an attractive vineyard tucked away. they offer
a choice of english wines; a nice rose will set you back about £7.50.
if you walk along the cliff path into sandown or shanklin, beautiful views
across the channel will tempt you to take photos.
the royal hotel at ventnor is a favourite of mine for afternoon tea. with
its pretty, shady gardens and calm atmosphere, it's worth paying that little
bit extra. traditional cucumber sandwiches and rich fruit cake will satisfy
any hunger pangs before the flight home.
if time allows, ryde can be reached by train from the station at lake (a short
walk from the airfield).
freshwater, on the far west of the island, is a lovely place to visit; we've
been there a few times. hiring a car is probably the best way to get to there
because the buses are erratic. dimbola lodge at freshwater has a photographic
exhibition including the work of julia margaret cameron, who lived here, and
there is the story of the original isle of wight festival. a bronze statue
of jimi hendrix stands outside to greet you, and they do lovely teas.
before i close, i'll just mention that familiar landmark to cross channel
aviators, st. catherines point. i can't visit it without remembering the significance
it held for me on our first over water crossing from jersey.
