A popular West Country beach is closed until further notice following a 'significant' cliff fall. Ladram Bay beach near Sidmouth in East Devon, was closed as a precaution by owners Ladram Bay Holiday Park following the incident in the early hours of this morning (Sunday, May 5).
The cliff fall, in which thankfully no-one was hurt, is understood to have happened at around 7am. A large area of rocks collapsed onto boats and stand-up paddle boards moored up onto the beach below. Barriers have since been put up along all access roads to the beach to stop anyone from going on it.
Pictures and videos of the cliff fall show the extent of the cliff fall including larges rocks hanging precariously above and likely to come down in the near future. A spokesperson for the holiday park said the beach would remain out of bound to the public until the safety of the iconic cliffs and Jurassic coastline had been assessed.
