Temporary Price Cut In Place As Shanklin Cliff Lift Reopens

Prices for using the Cliff Lift at Shanklin are to be reduced while Osborne Steps are closed to the public.

The closure is a result of ground stability issues affecting the retaining walls.

The lift begins operations for this year today (Saturday).

For the time being there will be a flat rate of £1 return (instead of £2 for adults/OAP and £1.50 junior).  

The temporary measure will stay in place until the steps are reopened.

The Lift is situated mid-way along the Esplanade and provides an alternative means of negotiating the 45m change in level from the Esplanade to the cliff path; the new lift cars take around 30 seconds to travel from the Esplanade to the cliff top.
