The "Lost Road", Blackgang
The "Lost Road", Blackgang
This is a view of the "lost road", a section of the now-overgrown road at the foot of Gore Cliff that formerly connected Blackgang and Niton. Now this section is cut off at both ends by landslips caused by soft clay underlying the harder strata of the cliff.
