Luccombe Chine, Coastal canyon in Shanklin, United Kingdom
The steep coastal ravine extends from the clifftop down to Luccombe Bay, featuring eroded Cretaceous rocks and dense woodland vegetation throughout its length.
A small fishing settlement existed at the base of the canyon until 1910, when a substantial landslip completely destroyed the community and altered the landscape.
The canyon forms part of the Isle of Wight's network of chines, representing the region's geological heritage and natural coastal development patterns.
Due to ongoing erosion and landslips affecting wooden structures, the main path and beach access through the canyon remain closed for safety reasons.
The canyon marks the eastern boundary of the Isle of Wight Undercliff landslip area, where continuous geological processes shape the coastal environment.
