Part of Newquay beach closed after cliff fall

Rocks and debris have fallen down the cliff at Great Western Beach

Part of a busy beach in Cornwall has been cordoned off after a section of cliff collapsed, causing rocks to fall on to the sands over the weekend.

Cornwall Council said part of Great Western Beach in Newquay was closed, and warned people to "stay well away from the safety barrier we’ve put in place".

It said it was monitoring the site and "working with partners to ensure the area remains safe".

Great Western is a popular beach in central Newquay, within walking distance of many hotels and guest houses, and is in an area of coastline vulnerable to cliff falls.

People have been asked to stay away from the section of beach where the cliff fall happened
