Jurassic Coast: Large landslip at Seatown Beach
Visitors to Dorset's Jurassic Coast have been warned after a large section of cliff collapsed on to a beach.
The Overnight landslip occurred at Seatown Beach, near West Bay , along the same section of coastline as.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service urged walkers to " stay away from cliff edges and don't sit at The Base of the cliffs".
It added there was a greater risk of Cliff Falls due to recent dry weather.
Dorset Council also issued A Warning that said the slips continued to move and were still " dangerous to walk over".
It said the latest landslip seemed to be " another movement of the older slipped material".
" This movement may leave The Remaining vertical faces even more vulnerable to further collapse now, especially where any remaining cracks are still present, " The Council added.
The Authority said it would continue to monitor these and other active cliffs along the Jurassic Coast .
