Barton-on-Sea is located in Christchurch Bay in Hampshire.
Christchurch Bay has long been affected by coastal erosion and cliff collapse, a number of buildings and a café have been lost to the sea. Despite extensive coastal defences, a fresh landslip occurred in 2008, which has raised concerns, for example a a development of houses in Barton Court is 20m from the cliff edge, and has been predicted to be lost in the next 10 years. |
