This is the shocking moment a family was rescued from the brink of danger after choosing to camp out on a cliff edge just days after a series of landslips in the area.
The family of two adults and a child put up a tent on a section of the Cleveland Way, a national trail which runs 110 miles between Helmsley and the Filey Brigg in North Yorkshire.
After the family were spotted in the precarious location, coastguard rescue officers from Staithes and Whitby travelled to them on Saturday, Evening Gazette reports.
