Another cliff fall has hit the coast.
A large section of the cliff has fallen on West Bay's East Beach.
Resident Ian Hufton was walking on Friday morning when he saw it.
He said at the time: "I was walking my ultra-inquisitive Deerhounds this morning and I think we all stopped and stared for a bit thinking wow that’s a big one.
"I saw it about 8.30am. I walk there most mornings.
"I didn’t go up that far yesterday but I would’ve noticed it because of the size.
"I spoke to two ladies walking this morning and they said it wasn’t there yesterday.
"You can clearly see the topsoil & grass at the top so I would imagine the path is a little closer to the edge now."
When walking on or near the coast, advice is as follows:
- Stay away from the edge of the cliff top - admire the view from a safe distance
- Stay away from the base of cliffs: rock falls and landslides can happen at any time
- If the cliff is 25 metres high, don’t go closer than 25 metres towards it
- Pay attention to warning signs – they are there for your safety
- Check tide times before you set off to avoid being cut off by incoming tides
- Be aware of mud flows extending across the beaches – don’t get stuck
- Keep dogs on leads near the cliff edge
- Enjoy the open spaces and keep well clear of the cliffs
- Beware of steep, shelving beaches and large waves
- Don't hammer into the cliffs or solid rock looking for fossils
