Went to Blackgang Chine in August, - my fourth trip. it's a shame that this beautiful park is gradually edging towards the sea, so much has gone! So I took pictures of remains of exhibits, an area in particular that has now been left to go over the edge and also the views from St Catherines Hill. I absolutely love this place and it is a lovely reminder of my childhood and I feel privileged to have experienced going to this park in my life time. Because in another few decades, this park will be no more. If you have any questions about Blackgang Chine or any queries, do not hesitate to ask me. Blackgang Chine is my strong subject ^_^

Land being sold by 'Pittis' - somehow think that the land there will be pretty hard to sell!

Where the old road once led, now blocked off by a barrier. Perhaps a good thing looking at that shear drop!

The 'new' path which was installed in early 2012, already blocked off due to erosion.
