People are being warned to stay away from cliffs in west Dorset as the Jurassic Coast continues to crumble. Winter weather has made cliffs along the coast unstable and it is warned that further rockfalls can happen at any time. The latest cliff fall occurred to the east of Charmouth on Monday. The Lyme Regis Coastguard Rescue Team was called to reports of a large cliff fall just before noon. By the time the team arrived a section of the cliff had already fallen, with other areas of the cliff reportedly continuing to crumble and fall. The team placed warning signs in the vicinity and advised members of the public who were in the immediate area.
WARNINGS have been issued to stay away from clifftops after terrifying pictures were captured of young children sitting perilously close to the edge at West Bay. The first of the worrying images shows the two children posing for a photograph on the edge of a West Bay cliff, with one even dangling their legs over the edge, as two adults stand a fair distance away to take the picture. In the second, the picture appears to have already been taken and the young girl remains with her legs over the edge of the cliff far away from her adult supervisors.
