Hampshire Man of Kent
St Lawrence Undercliff
The full extent of the massive landslip on Undercliff Drive, St Lawrence, taken from the Niton end.
Hard to believe now, but this used to be through road, which was always fairly busy.
Now, following the Valentine's Day storms of 2014, which caused massive ground movements in this area, and following this landslip, homes were evacuated, the stabilisation works by Island Roads suspended and now the road has been closed for good, and given back to Nature.
Only a very small part of the road is left. This landslip is enough to take your breath away, but a bit of a sad end the a very nice part of the Isle of Wight.
