Almost as soon as it was built a landslip destroyed the viaduct. Another major landslip in 1665 caused further damage. In 1983, the heavy rain warning was replaced by flood and landslip warnings.

The Settle and Carlisle railway line was subjected to a landslip between and railway stations. On 4 June 1872, a large landslip collapsed part of the side of Mount Arthur. Another heavy landslip occurred on 17 August 1898 outside the Nainital valley. On 3 February 1840 a smaller landslip occurred nearby. Counterforts were used as additional protection from landslip. There was a landslip on 11 June that claimed 53 lives. Train services continued despite the Gotherington landslip, but over a reduced route. Police described the landslip as the "worst in 100 years".
