Historic Isle of Wight tourist attraction, Shanklin Chine, reopens on March 30...and there are some new things to see in the undergrowth.

Dinosaurs are lurking, alongside nearly a dozen eggs, found by following a trail.

A two metre tall brontosaurus and a triceratops and t-rex, both one and a half metres, will loom along the path.

Shanklin Chine and the Fisherman’s Cottage Inn's operations manager, Jo Porter, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming people back to The Chine this year.

Jo added: "The undergrowth is perfect for giving that Jurassic feel."

There are events planned for Easter, summer, Halloween and winter.
