About Blackgang Chine

Perched at Blackgang on the Isle of Wight, this park has been entertaining visitors since 1843. It is divided into themed lands, including Pirate Cove, Restricted Area 5, Fairy Land and Village, and Cowboy Town.

The park sits on unstable ground, and frequent landslides have forced attractions to be moved further inland on several occasions. That shifting clifftop setting is part of what makes its long history so unusual.

Highlights

  • Oldest amusement park in the UK, opened 1843
  • Themed lands including Pirate Cove and Cowboy Town
  • Clifftop site shaped by frequent landslides
  • Good for families
  • Outdoor, best on a dry day
