The feature was initially thought to have been destroyed in a major landslide that occurred on the evening of 10 December 2023,[1] but subsequent footage shows that it remains intact, although the whole area is now inaccessible to the public.
[2] Its upper end was at the Smuggler's Haven Tearooms at the base of Nansen Hill,[3] at the southern end of clifftop parkland accessed from the Leeson Road car park on the A3055 road, where there is a Southern Vectis bus route 3 stop.
One of several such paths connecting the clifftop to the Isle of Wight Undercliff, the Devil's Chimney followed a joint through the Upper Greensand crags capping the cliffs above the Landslip.
Following the December 2023 event, all paths in the landslip area are now destroyed or closed as unsafe.
