    Island Heritage Service Historic Environment Action Plan South-West Wight Coastal Zone Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for South-West Wight Coastal Zone INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. Essential characteristics of the South-West Wight Coastal Zone include the long coastline and cliffs containing fossils and archaeological material, the pattern of historic lanes, tracks and boundaries, field patterns showing evidence of open-field enclosure, valley-floor land, historic villages, hamlets and dispersed farmsteads, and vernacular architecture. The Military Road provides a scenic and historically significant route along the coast. The settlements of Mottistone, Hulverstone, Brighstone and Shorwell straddle the boundary between this Area and the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge. Historically these settlements exploited both Areas. For the sake of convenience these settlements are described in the HEAP Area document for the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge even where they fall partially within this Area. However, they are also referred to in this HEAP document where appropriate. This document considers the most significant features of the historic landscape, the most important forces for change, and the key management issues. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Occupies strip of land between West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge and coast. • Coastline within this Area stretches from Compton to Shepherd’s Chine and comprises soft, eroding cliffs with areas of landslip.

Updates to tasks / matters arising from meeting 6 December 2018 Bus Stops – Mark Earp and a team of four inspected as many rural bus stops as they could. It was felt that by and large these were pretty good but a few do need improvement. All bus stops had a post and a current timetable. There had been grant out for sustainable travel called the “Innovation fund” Mark wondered if anyone had applied for concreate pads, to be funded, at any of the rural bus stop locations? The General Manager for Southern Vectis Mr Richard Tyldsley has been invited to the next LAF meeting. Prior to this LAF members / guests should take time to look at the rural bus stop locations in their areas and using their local knowledge have given feedback to the LAF of any unsafe or redundant ones.

The WeBS core counts scheme is the principal scheme of the Wetland Bird Survey. Coordinated monthly counts are made annually at around 2,000 wetland sites in Britain.

  • Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised)
    Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised) Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan Second Review December 2007 1 Introduction Maritime cliffs and slopes have been identified as a priority habitat in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. They comprise sloping to vertical surfaces on the coastline where a break of slope is formed by slippage and/or coastal erosion. There appears to be no generally accepted definition of the minimum height or angle of slope which constitutes a cliff, but the zone defined as cliff top should extend landward to at least the limit of maritime influence (i.e. limit of salt spray deposition). On the seaward side, the plan extends to the limit of the supralittoral zone and so includes the splash zone lichens and other species of this habitat. They can broadly be classified as hard cliffs or soft cliffs, though there are intermediate types. Hard cliffs are vertical or steeply sloping, with crevices or ledges where plants can establish themselves and birds can find nest sites. They are formed of rocks which are relatively resistant to weathering, such as chalk. Soft cliffs are formed in less resistant rocks such as shales or in unconsolidated materials such as boulder clay. They are characterised by less steep slopes that gradually become vegetated. They are subject to frequent slumping and landslips, particularly where water percolates into the rock and reduces its effective shear strength. Most cliffs form at the junction of land and sea, where groundwater-driven land slippage and/or erosion by the sea have created a break in slope, but on the Isle of Wight there is also an extensive landslip zone between St Catherine’s Point and Bonchurch which has an inner cliff 500m inland rising to 140m above sea level.

The resources cover six different locations around the island, and allow students to study a variety of different human and physical geography topics. All of the resources are closely linked to the different specifcations for GCSE Geography. The following notes give an overview of each location and guidance to accompany the resource for that location. Location Curriculum Content / Skills Number • Processes of long-shore drift and the development of beaches • Microclimates 107 VENTNOR • Making observations of, and categorising, human activities and 581 land uses • Basic geology and how this affects rates of erosion • How aspect infuences rates of erosion COMPTON BAY / • The key characteristics of the cliffs at Compton, related to their 107 HANOVER POINT geology, weathering and erosion (including mass movements) 582 • The formation of, and characteristics of, the wave cut platform at Hanover Point • The physical and human characteristics of the Bay FRESHWATER • Processes of erosion and the formation of headlands, bays and BAY / stacks 107 TENNYSON • Examining the need for coastal protection at Freshwater Bay by 583 DOWN using secondary information from the SMP • The strategies in place to protect the Bay from erosion / fooding • The geology of Alum Bay and the role of folding (Alpine ALUM BAY/ Orogeny) in the creation of the cliff structure 107 THE NEEDLES • The formation of stacks and likely changes to the Needles in the 584

The indentation of the coastline will continue to increase until variations in wave energy due to refraction balance with the variation in rock strength and beach volume.

  • Geology, Landscape and Human Interactions: Examples from the Isle of Wight 1 2 K
    *Manuscript Click here to view linked References Geology, landscape and human interactions: Examples from the Isle of Wight 1 2 K. A. Booth 1, J. Brayson 1 3 4 1 5 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. 6 7 Abstract: 8 9 The British Geological Survey has recently re-mapped the Isle of Wight at a scale of 1:10,000. This 10 11 has added to a wealth of geological research already published. Within this paper, we highlight the 12 importance of geology to the heritage of the Isle of Wight and its impacts on everyday life. There is 13 a growing cultural awareness of the variety of landscapes and resources, the geology that underpins 14 15 them, and the need to manage and understand them in a sensitive and sustainable way. 16 ‘Geodiversity’, which collectively embraces these themes, is defined as “…the natural range 17 (diversity) of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (land form, processes) and soil 18 19 features…” (Gray, 2004). This paper will focus on the geomorphological features; that is, the link 20 between geology, the landscape it influences, and the human interactions with it. Examples from the 21 Isle of Wight of the influences of geology on landscape include the landslides at Ventnor; geotourism 22 23 at The Needles, Alum Bay and various dinosaur sites; and the artificial landscapes resulting from 24 resource extraction. The geological issues and examples that we have used are some of the most 25 26 applicable to everyday life, and therefore ones that many people will be able to relate to, such as 27 geohazards (e.g.
