Blackgang Chine is the location of a now-destroyed chine (a coastal ravine) in the soft Cretaceous cliffs about 6 miles from Ventnor at the southern tip of the Isle of Wight just below St Catherine`s Down. Since May 1843 it has been home to the Blackgang Chine amusement park, run by the Dabell family who also run the site`s sister park Robin Hill. The park features two main rides, a rollercoaster and waterslide as well as two heritage attractions. Owing to the unstable land on which the park is situated, landslides occur frequently, meaning that attractions have continually to be moved further inland to safer ground.
