“This is a recent section of pathway that has fallen to the east of Belle Tout lighthouse and as you can see another large crack remains.

“This is the latest of several recent cliff falls this year. This is why we ask people to stay away from the cliff edges both above and below.

“Please, please, please stay away from the edge.”

In a coastal emergency dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
