Chilton Chine

Islands and Archipelagos

Chilton Chine is a small coastal gully on the southwest coast of the Isle of Wight, England, west of the village of Brighstone, one of several chines on the island cut by streams eroding soft Cretaceous rock. It runs from the hamlet of Chilton Green down past the A3055 Military Road to Brighstone Bay, draining surrounding farmland, supporting scrub and grassland vegetation, and yielding notable fossil finds; the Isle of Wight Coastal Path runs along its upper edge.
