Thank you : )
This section of sea wall is getting progressively worse, but I gather the plan remains to re-open the path in a week or two. Please visit the Seapot cafe in Wheelers Bay: the reduced number of people walking this route must have seriously impacted the cafe. Eat out to help out....

We nearly purchased one of the chalets as well . Yes early 90’s 12-15,000 pounds now they are going for around 200.000 I believe

As a child we went frequently to the IOW for holidays, my hubby and I now retired came a few years back. All I can remember is the concrete - coastal defences - it's as though the whole island is supported by a concrete skirt. So was hoping when you video popped up there might have been something we missed.

[@williamcoulter5462]

It is not just the coastal erosion causing the damage but the fact the land is soft chalk based and extreme wet weather causes the ground to wash out any cracks making them bigger leading to landslips so not an area you would like to live in anywhere near the cliff edges. You cannot keep spending millions to save a couple of homes you need to let nature run it's course who would buy a home on soft cheese like soil anyway?

The Undercliff is certainly rewilding itself (now Beavers yet though....)!

[@bobrussell3602]

Do you know the name of the plants with the round leaves, growing to the right at !.36 ?

[@sarahamilton7903]

I think it may be a plant with yellowish green flowers called Alexanders
