They have come only a short distance from the cliffs of Stanswood Bay (which must have entended further seaward until about the 1500s). They are conspicuously subangular and not suffered any significant abrasion in this quiet environment within the Solent. As a result this spit is only about 3 metres high (excluding the heights of added building). This is a low-energy location because the Isle of Wight gives protection against the open sea. It is at the seaward end of Southampton Water. THE DEVELOPMENT OF CALSHOT SPIT (EXTRACT FROM: HODSON AND WEST, 1972)Ĭalshot Spit is a medium-sized shingle spit within the Solent Estuarine System.
