- Whale chine near Chale down on the Military road is a geological beauty spot, the area around it is a truly stunning scene, it is part of the coastal walking route on the island and is well worth a visit, there is a large car park very nearby, ideal for dog walking, the cliff edge in places is part of a warren so a bit of caution is called for.

🇮🇪 brilliant video very nice
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. subbed & 👍11
Used to be my favourite beach to visit - when there were steps to get you there... so sad it's inaccessable now.
It won’t be long before this whole stretch of coastline will not be accessible from the road due to erosion. That will be a shame as it is the only part of the island that is still natural and beautiful. Always my favourite place to go when the buses are running.
PLEASE PUT SOME STEPS BACK !!!!!!!!!!
Marvellous! This just shows the sheer depth of this chine which seems to have got bigger over the years.
No sign of the broken steps now so the council must have removed them for safety reasons. You can see the path closed sign and the start of the path on the left at 0:15 / 1:01.
At 1:09 you can see the path and the old rope handrail to the bottom. I went down 3 years ago..nearly died lol
I went down with a friend about the same time - maybe 2022 - but it was a right scramble and I was VERY UNBALANCED due to my rucksack and camera!!! I seem to recall someone had provided a rope but it wasn't much use. It's a fair walk to get back up from anywhere else too (Rocken End going east or Shepherd's Chine going west). With the current state of affairs down there any replacement steps would be futile as they would collapse in a few weeks.
Absolutely no sign now of the huge reinforced concrete structure that was built across the chine in ww2
How do you pronounce the word "Chine"? It's not a word we use in Canada. Is it like ch-eye-n or chain?
Its like 'shine'
