Happisburgh
Location: UK Abandoned: N/A
Though this village in Norfolk is inhabited and not technically a ghost town, erosion along the coast is forcing those living near the cliff’s edge to evacuate before the land beneath them crumbles away, leaving their houses empty as they await their fate. Homes that sat six metres from the sea in 1998 now sit precariously on the edge, deserted by their previous owners. Though sea defences were built in 1959, and groynes added in 1968 to slow the process, the village will continue to shrink as it is battered by the sea.
