Bonchurch cliff slip by Liz Gorski

Cliff fall in Bonchurch (Photos and video)

Many thanks to Liz Gorski who got in touch with (and sent photos to)OnTheWight this morning, to let us know about a cliff fall along the revetment at the Bonchurch-end of the coastal path towards Ventnor.

It is suspected to have happened last night, after the heavy rain falls. Liz’s husband, Chris, told OnTheWight, “I heard a deep rumble at about ten past twelve. ”

Liz went for a walk this morning (and took the photo at the top of the article) and discover the pathway was cover by debris that had broken through the Catchment fence.

Quick work from IW council
When OnTheWight got down there at about 11 am, the Coastal officer for the Isle of Wight council was already at the scene making arrangements for it to be cleared. Contractors have been alerted and it’s hoped that it will be cleared in the days.

Quick video to put photos in context
