These views of the cliffs to the West of Ventnor were taken on a misty morning. Just out of view is the 'Flowersbrook' cliff top cafe and putting green - although there's not much putting possible at the moment - the area is a mess as contractors have moved in working on the Island wide water treatment project.
Cliff walks outside Ventnor - the pier is still in this picture taken in June 1990.
But further along some of the cliff has gone.
A more recent view (January 2001) with the new bandstand in the background where the pier was..
More erosion.
Another path has recently been repaired.
The detour offers some fine views though.
This delightful cove is a brisk walk along the coastal path from Ventnor. But a walk that's worth making. In addition to the scenic beauty of the cove, the cafe make fantastic locally caught crab sandwiches!
Another view of Steephill Cove - this time looking East along the beach.
This is the view of the cliff close to the Botanic Garden, taken from the upper road (to Whitwell) in 1990.
