About Blackgang

Blackgang perches on the Isle of Wight's dramatic southern cliffs, reached via ferry then the scenic A3055 Military Road along the coast. The village sits at the island's windswept tip, where chalk downs plunge into the Channel. It's home to Blackgang Chine, Britain's oldest theme park, which has been thrilling visitors since 1843 despite the constantly eroding clifftop location.
