Not many people are aware of the erosion around the isle of wight. But in recent years there is one particular road that has nearly vanished due to cliff face erosion. This is the latest picture of Military Road (well what's left of it)
P.S That's not me in the picture either. Also your now not allowed to walk your dogs along there its complelety closed off and one side of the road has red barriers stopping access on the left side of a long stretch of the road. IOW council have said if we have more then expected rainfall in next 12 months then most of the cliff face will erode much faster and then Military Road will then be closed for all traffic and re-diverted.
The cliff edge is now only one metre away from the road
