Coastal Erosion - Killane Mill Ballaugh Isle of Man
The owner of a house at Killane in Ballaugh, Isle of Man, has been fighting a battle with the sea! At first he seemed to be losing heavily as the coast which had been stable for several years began to disappear rather quickly in the late 1980's so a wall was built. See what happened.
Killane Beach & Erosion - Ballaugh, Isle of Man
The sandy north west coast of the Isle of Man is easily eroded. One house stands protected by a rock face of boulders. This can be seen at Killane on the Ballaugh Jurby border. Interestingly the erosion north of the boulders seems to be worse than to the south. April 2010
Coastal Erosion - Ballaugh Beach Isle of Man - March 2019
A trip up the West Coast led me here toward the end of March 2019.
The weather was rather cloudy by this time after a promising shoot in Peel (published earlier 2019) and from the Devils Elbow on the coast road north..
The power of the Irish Sea is evident the further north you go here I focus on the area between Ballaugh Beach and Jurby.

This video is about the Isle of Man by Drone in 2018 covering multiple locations and is a compilation of all my 2018 Drone Footage from places including Niarbyl, Douglas, Ramsey, Port Erin, Groudle, Port Soderick and derelict buildings around the island.
The Isle of Man (Manx: Mannin [ˈmanɪnʲ], also Manx: Ellan Vannin [ˈɛlʲan ˈvanɪnʲ]), sometimes referred to simply as Mann /mæn/, is a self-governing British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, holds the title of Lord of Mann and is represented by a lieutenant governor. Defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom.
Humans have lived on the island since before 6500 BC. Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD, and the Manx language, a branch of the Gaelic languages, emerged. In 627 Edwin of Northumbria conquered the Isle of Man along with most of Mercia. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles, which included the Isle of Man. Magnus III, King of Norway from 1093 to 1103, reigned also as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103.
In 1266 the island became part of Scotland under the Treaty of Perth, after being ruled by Norway. After a period of alternating rule by the kings of Scotland and England, the island came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1765, but the island never became part of the 18th century kingdom of Great Britain or its successors (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the present-day United Kingdom). It retained its internal self-government.
In 1881 the Isle of Man parliament, Tynwald, became the first national legislative body in the world to give women the right to vote in a general election, although this excluded married women. In 2016 UNESCO awarded the Isle of Man biosphere reserve status.
Insurance and online gambling each generate 17% of GNP, followed by information and communications technology and banking with 9% each. Internationally, the Isle of Man is known for the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races.
The Isle of Man is located in the middle of the northern Irish Sea, almost equidistant from England to the east, Northern Ireland to the west, and Scotland (closest) to the north; while Wales to the south is almost the distance of the Republic of Ireland to the southwest. It is 52 kilometres (32 mi) long and, at its widest point, 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide. It has an area of around 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi).Besides the island of Mann itself, the political unit of the Isle of Man includes some nearby small islands: the seasonally inhabited Calf of Man, Chicken Rock on which stands an unmanned lighthouse, St Patrick's Isle and St Michael's Isle. The last two of these are connected to the main island by permanent roads/causeways.
Ranges of hills in the north and south are separated by a central valley. The northern plain, by contrast, is relatively flat, consisting mainly of deposits from glacial advances from western Scotland during colder times. There are more recently deposited shingle beaches at the northernmost point, the Point of Ayre. The island has one mountain higher than 600 metres (2,000 ft), Snaefell, with a height of 620 metres (2,034 ft).According to an old saying, from the summit one can see six kingdoms: those of Mann, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, and Heaven.Some versions add a seventh kingdom, that of the sea, or Neptune.

Is Isle of Man Worth It? | 24 HOUR VISIT | Days Before the TT
In our continuing attempt to visit 50 countries, we decided to look a little closer to home to see where we were missing. Low and behold, Isle of Man sat waiting for us! We used the Steampacket Ferry from Liverpool to cross over to this quiet and peaceful island. We really had no idea what to expect and to be honest, I don't think either of our expectations was incredibly high. HOWEVER, we were beyond pleasantly surprised to find that we loved this little country!
We kicked things off by taking the Electric Tram up to Laxey. There we attempted to visit the Laxey Wheel but found it to be under restoration... oh well! We found dinner in Douglas, enjoyed the beach, and turned in so we could catch our early bus the next morning. When we woke we took the bus to Peel! There we climbed a nearby hill, explored Peel Castle, learned about the marine life, and got some famous Davisons ice cream. During our time we also got to explore the town centers, break out our drone and eat some great food. So... 24 Hours in Isle of Man... is it worth going to? 100%, we hope to be going back one day! Maybe next time we will catch the Tourist Trophy/TT?
Tell us, where, in the UK, we should try and go to next! What would you like us to share? What did you think of the video? Leave a comment, like, and subscribe for more!!

Pacifica Coastal Erosion 1-14-17
Update
Pacifica cliffs have been crumbling for decades, but experts say the sea’s creep inland accelerated due to a combination of natural and man-made factors, including an increase in El Niño storms and a drastic decrease in sediment flowing out of San Francisco Bay.

Glen Mooar - Coastal Erosion 2017 - Isle of Man by Drone
Can't really explain why no one is seemingly doing nothing about the erosion on the West Coast and although this video is a little longer than I would have preferred its at least a record of the coast line around Glen Mooar and Kirk Michael as of July 2017. I'm sure I or fellow IOM Drone flyers will return over the next few years and keep an update going.
I have sped the video up in places to try and make it shorter than its initial 15 mins. Still amazing scenery but I see it more of a historical snap shot.

Coastal Erosion on the Isle of Wight
This animation shows some of the problems caused by coastal erosion on the South West coast of the Isle of Wight. These problems can include rockfalls, landslides and the loss of land, properties and roads. It is based on historic Ordnance Survey plans, which show the rates of erosion along this part of the Isle of Wight coast can be up to 1 metre/year.
This animation has been produced by the Isle of Wight Centre for the Coastal Environment, which the department within the Isle of Wight Council managing coastal and environmental issues.

Erosion Shore Road Kirk Michael Isle of Man Nov 2012
The sea is powerful, its effects can be seen on the coast at Kirk Michael. Boulders placed at the end of Shore Road provided some protection over the last twenty or so years, however, the erosion is starting to cut behind them now. There are no plans for the Isle of Man governement to expand or re-inforce this.

Balleira Erosion, Kirk Michael, Isle of Man, May 2014
After tevery storm the sandy coast takes a new fresh shape. Fascinating to study, dangerous if it collapses on you, a big problem if you live behind it. Added to that there is a waste water outfall from the new sewage plant.
Island Erosion, A Shrinking Sundown
One of the most important rookery islands on the Texas coast is in trouble. Chester Island in
Matagorda Bay is slowly shrinking, as the shoreline is eroding at an alarming rate. But now efforts are underway to save the island, and help the thousands of birds that nest there.

More Coastal Erosion Milford-on Sea
Hurst Castle is a 16th Century fort on the south coast of England with a Victorian addition. Coastal erosion has resulted in the partial collapse of a wall. English Heritage are responsible for the maintenance of the Castle. In 2020 the sea defences in nearby Milford-on-Sea were breached and repaired at a cost of over £2 million.
