LUCCOMB CHINE, a deep, craggy, winding chasm, on the coast of the Isle of Wight; under Shanklin down, 1 mile NE of Undercliff, and 7½ SE of Newport. Its sides are bosky with shrubs and brushwood; and its bottom is traversed by a rapid streamlet, forming a little cascade. It was once a great haunt of smugglers.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
