West Bay: Three rockfalls on Dorset's Jurassic Coast block beach

A series of three rockfalls have blocked a stretch of beach on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.

Aerial footage showed the aftermath of the cliff collapse and large pieces of rock left jutting out perilously over the beach at West Bay, Bridport.

West Bay Photography, which captured the scene, said the earth movements were seen on Monday afternoon.

The last known large collapse on East Beach happened in November following Storm Ciarán.

Dorset Council said the "three rockfalls around the West Bay area have blocked access along the beach".

"The coastal path is still accessible and presently safe to use. We will provide any updates we receive," it added.

The authority urged visitors to heed warning signs, keep to existing paths and stay away from the edge and the base of cliffs.
