This week’s wet weather has led to a number of small cliff falls in the Brook and Compton areas.
Families out enjoying today’s half-term sunshine have reported seeing a number of falls which could put visitors in danger, if caught unawares.
The cliff face at Brook and Hanover Point (Compton) is said to be particularly fragile at the moment.
National advice from HM Coastguard says that a good rule of thumb is that you should keep at least the height of the cliff away, so that if the cliff is 25 metres high, you should not go closer than 25 metres to it. Furthermore, visitors to the coast shouldn’t be tempted to explore recent cliff falls.
