Live footage of the rockfall this week at West Bay, Dorset. This shows how quickly rockfalls can happen. We reiterate the warnings here to enjoy your time at the beach but stay well back from cliffs.
BGSGeology retweeted
Rockfalls and Landslips can happen at anytime. These people had a lucky escape. The South West Coast Path above the cliff at West Bay is currently closed. Thanks to Daniel Knagg for the footage.

A lucky escape, don’t ever underestimate the cliffs along this coastline!
