Lyme Regis
One of the most spectacular landslips occurred on 24 December 1839,  west along the coast in Devon belonging to Bindon Manor and known as "The Dowlands Landslip".  About  of fields growing wheat and turnips were dislodged when a great chasm was formed more than  across,  deep and  long. The crops remained intact on the top of what became known as "Goat Island" among the newly formed gullies.  On 3 February 1840, five weeks later, there was a second landslip nearby but much smaller than the former.  This strange phenomenon attracted many visitors, and the canny farmers charged sixpence for entrance and held a grand reaping party when the wheat ripened. The area is now known as The Undercliff and is of great interest because of its diverse natural history.
