Devil's Chimney, Rock cleft in Ventnor, England
The Devil's Chimney forms a vertical shaft through chalk cliffs, creating a natural passage between rock walls that extends upward from the cliff face.
The formation has endured centuries of coastal erosion, gradually shaping its current structure through the natural processes of water and wind interactions.
Local residents share tales connecting the formation to ancient maritime activities, with some suggesting its use as a lookout point for detecting ships.
Access to Devil's Chimney requires following the coastal path V65A from Smuggler's Haven Tearooms, though recent landslides have restricted visitor entry.
The geological formation includes a sequence of steps descending through the rock structure, revealing different layers of chalk composition.
