We were due to leave the island, but decided to stay a little longer to visit Blackgang chine and Robin Hill - joint ticket £67 for a family of four and can return within 7 days.

A nice family attraction, with lots of nooks and crannies to look around. A few things were closed due to bad weather and the roller coaster wasn't working due to ongoing maintainence. The water flumes were great fun.We spent around 3 hours at Blackgang chine and then travelled on to the needles. More

The views whilst walking round the park were amazing too and we were lucky enough to have visited on a very sunny day. It was not too busy... More
