<P> Blackgang Chine is the UK 's oldest amusement park . Named after a now - destroyed chine ( a coastal ravine ) in the soft Cretaceous cliffs , it is about 6 miles from Ventnor at the southern tip of the Isle of Wight just below St Catherine 's Down . The park is owned by the Dabell family . Blackgang Chine has a sister park named Robin Hill . Blackgang Chine is home to life - sized Pirate Ships , Fairy Villages and Castles , Dodo Valleys , and the original Cowboy Town . 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 . </P>
