Robin Hill, Amusement park in Havenstreet and Ashey, Isle of Wight, England
Robin Hill is an amusement park in Havenstreet and Ashey, on the Isle of Wight, set across rolling hills with large stretches of woodland and open lawn. The park features a summer toboggan run built into the hillside, along with a wooden maze, a treetop walkway, play zones for young children, and a small cinema with moving seats.
Robin Hill opened in 1971 and has been run by the same family that owns Blackgang Chine, another park on the island. Over the years, new attractions were added, and the site hosted the Bestival music festival for a period before the event moved elsewhere.
Robin Hill is a fixture in family life on the Isle of Wight, drawing local visitors across generations for outdoor play and woodland walks. Red squirrels roam freely through the trees, and spotting them is a natural part of any walk through the wooded parts of the park.
Arriving early in the day helps avoid waits at the toboggan run and other popular spots. Most attractions are outdoors, so the experience depends a good deal on the weather, and wet days can limit what is accessible.
Beneath the park lie the remains of a Roman farm, which visitors can discover through the Romans at Robin Hill exhibit. This means the ground under the play areas has a history stretching back nearly 2000 years, long before the first family ever bought a ticket.
