Blackgang Disappearing Village is one of the most popular attractions that should not be missed during your Isle of Wight holidays, located near the town of Ventnor, very close to the Ventnor Isle of Wight cottages. The park is divided into three sections namely BBC Coast, World of Timber and Wight Experience. While BBC Coast is an exhibition that tells the story of the disappearing village of Blackgang, the Weight Experience is a 70-seat theatre that screens a thrilling aerial film depicting the island's beauty. World of Timber is yet another display that is set around the reconstruction of a Victorian water-powered sawmill. Visit the millpond gardens too for a blissful walk. If you happen to feel the need to get refreshed with some food and drinks, visit the Ship Ashore Tea Room, which serves excellent lunch, tea and pastries.
