Robin Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Hill is an 88 acre family theme park, billed as a countryside adventure park, in the centre of the Isle of Wight, England.

It is located close to the pub "The Hare and Hounds", in Downend near Arreton. It is owned by the Dabell family, the owners of Blackgang Chine, another Isle of Wight amusement area.

Attractions at Robin Hill include:

"The Time Machine" 28 seat motion platform cinema
"Squirrel Tower" children's tree-top climbing route
"Colossus" swinging boat ride
"Toboggan Run", a 300 metre course of metal half-pipe, designed as a track for toboggans

As well as a park for family fun, its other attractions include a wide wildlife variety, including the red squirrel which is now rare in England. Robin Hill is one of the easiest places to see this elusive creature. A roman villa is also located within the park.

It is the location for the annual alternative music festival the Bestival.
