Large landslip overnight at Seatown beach in Dorset

There was a large landslip overnight at Seatown beach in Dorset on Thursday (20 July).

The beauty spot, near West Bay, is part of Britain’s Unesco World Heritage Site.

Bridport Fire Station is warning members of the public to stay clear of the area.

In a recent Facebook post, they wrote "Please remember that if you are visiting the coast and walking the coast path, stay away from cliff edges.

"Don't sit at the base of the cliffs. Cliff falls are a greater risk due to the recent dry weather."

Dorset Council added "It seems to be another movement of the older slipped material.

"This may leave the remaining cliffs even more vulnerable to further collapse .

Take care - don't walk on recent falls, stay away from cliff edges and bases."

Dorset Council said the coastal path at the top was moved back three years ago from the edge due to the cracking.

The authority also said it would continue to monitor these and other active cliffs along the Jurassic coast.

The rock displacement comes after a 230-foot-long crack was spotted on the coast in January this year.

A large hole is left where the 60-foot-wide section of the 600-foot-tall cliff was predicted to collapse.

Worryingly, recent drone footage captured by James Loveridge Photography shows people walking dangerously close to the cliff edge just days after the collapse.

The dramatic aerial footage, captured on Monday (July 24), also revealed the extent of the huge landslip on Dorset's Jurassic Coast.

There are fears there is a greater risk of cliff falls due to recent dry weather. All advice is to stay well clear of the cliff edge.

The Jurassic Coast is a 95-mile long stretch of coastline in Dorset and Devon and it draws in millions of visitors every year.

It's the only place on earth where rocks from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods can be seen in one place.
