BLACKGANG CHINE FANTASY PARK, NITON.

Due to Landslip Blackgang Chine loses on average 3 meters of land every year.  Some years escape with very little and some years a large section will fall away.  Don't worry - the organisers usually have prior warning of such falls and models and paths are moved back as a result and some areas are totally relocated.

The bridge leading to Rumpus Mansion The animated clock tower has recently been removed for reasons unknown.	Rumpus Mansion entrance	Exit and behind Rumpus Mansion	Water Wheel Go past this to get to Fort Tortuga.
Steam Train Now boasting a repaint after it's relocation.	Rumpus Bridge Obviously leading to Rumpus Mansion. This clock has animated characters behind opening doors so keep a look out! Recently removed for reasons unknown.	Buffalo Canyon There is much needed refreshments {Hot and Cold} at the end of Buffalo Canyon - only a small part shown above. There are a couple of small shops that sell sweets, icecreams and lots of varieties of cap guns to amuse the boys and annoy the adults!	Blackgang Beach, South Just a small peek of the beach on the South side. The paths and steps down to the beach have long gone and easy access is no longer possible. However I saw two people walking along it after this picture was taken so it is possible - somehow.

There is much more than this at Blackgang Chine not pictured above:  St. Catherine's Quay, Blackgang Sawmill including Blacksmith's display,  Shipwreck Collection, RNLI Lifeboat and display, Paddle Steamer Engine Room, Snakes & Ladders, Funny Mirrors, 100m Waterforce, 'The Story of Blackgang Chine' including press cuttings and photographs of Landslips at Blackgang.  Not forgetting the original attraction an 87' whale skeleton, see next page.
