Aerial Views of the Landslip of 2023 at Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight. (Filmed in Feb 2024)
On the 10th December 2023 a major landslip occurred at Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight.
This caused major damage to the area and resulted in the nearby road being closed, and in fact it's still closed up until now (March 2024).
Leeson Road is closed at its junction with Bonchurch Shute, affecting travel between Ventnor and Shanklin, and long diversions are in place.
The area used to be a really lovely tourist area with some interesting features including The Devils Chimney and The Wishing Seat, but unfortunately the final fate of these features is still unknown. Probably hardest hit was the lovely little cafe, the Smugglers Haven, which has suddenly found itself now right on the edge of the cliff.
In February 2024 I decided to fly my DJI Air2S around the area to get some shots to see just how the landslip had affected the area.
Over the next couple of months I will try to make another video flying from just above the landslip to show how it has affected the local houses and businesses.

The sound must have been incredibly frightening when all that land collapsed. So sorry for those who have lost their homes.
Thanks for this. Coming to the Island soon and this was one of our favourite spots to explore. Unbelievable devastation. No more visits to the Tea Rooms at the top. Genuinely saddened especially for the locals affected. Great footage. Thanks again.
Fantastic footage. Wow. 😮 it really is falling to the sea. Fantastic footage

💕Wow💜💜💜💜💜💛💜
This is great, thanks for posting. The Chimney survived relatively intact although dropped thirty feet or so. The Wishing Seat also is still in place as is the second chimney nearby. These were in an unaffected area but obviously sealed-off to the public for safety. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWuCy6indrnRlrg.html
Devils Chimney is still there just slightly filled in so you can no longer walk through it.
