What has caused the landslips?

What has caused the landslips?

The landslips are largely related to local geology but there is also a link to high rainfall.

There is also evidence that historical coal mining and quarrying activity may have played a role.

There is weak material in the area as a consequence of historical slips.The steepness of the topography is also a factor.
