Uploader's Comments

Bonchurch Landslips is a 28.2 hectare site of special scientific interest which is located north-east of Ventnor, Isle of Wight. It lies at the eastern end of The Undercliff, the largest urban landslide complex in northern Europe. Major landslide events took place in 1810 and 1818. A lesser slip took place in February 1995 and in 2011 subsidence destroyed North Court, a Victorian villa. Note the unusual angles of the trees.
