Bonchurch Landslips, Scientific research site in Ventnor, United Kingdom.
The Bonchurch Landslips extends across 28 hectares of coastal terrain, featuring distinct geological formations of Upper Greensand rocks covering Gault clay deposits.
Major geological events in 1810 and 1818 shaped the current landscape, documented by Thomas Webster's detailed account from 1811 about the terrain changes.
The Victorian era transformed the natural geological site into an established walking route that incorporated natural elements like the Devil's Chimney.
Multiple footpaths traverse the site, including Coastal Path V65b from Ventnor and V65a from Luccombe, providing different access points for geological exploration.
The December 2023 landslide event caused substantial changes to the landscape, resulting in the loss of geological formations and necessitating local evacuations.
