More about this scene

The great chasm of Blackgang Chine was an early tourist attraction on the Isle of Wight, with its dramatic waterfall and eroded colourful cliffs. The waves of the sea echo along the Chine on wilder days, whilst much of the Island's southern coastline can be seen from the Observatory.
