Evening Magic

At night the Chine is transformed into a place of magic and enchantment. About 5 miles of cable and just under 200 lights have been installed, the majority of the lights being the most modern and up-to-date available. For instance the waterfall is illuminated by LED's. Should the path lights fail, an emergency system switches on automatically. Because of the two entrances, it has proved impossible to hide all the light sources but improvements and additions are constantly being made.

 

The Chine is illuminated from Friday 28th May until Sunday 12th September, dusk to 10pm. The overall concept of the lighting is to give the impression of a cathedral roof and this has been achieved with considerable success. One enthralled small boy was overheard saying "I am enjoying this; it's like a nice dream - it's like being in fairyland!" It is worth visiting the chine both day and evening as you will have very different and equally magical experiences
