West Dorset took a battering at the weekend as Storm Freya blew in.

The west coast of Dorset was hit hard by the storm, with red flood warnings in place for Lyme Regis and West Bay - meaning residents were encouraged to 'take immediate action' to stay safe.

Gusts of nearly 60mph on Sunday were recorded in the south west.

Large waves and spray made coastal paths and promenades dangerous, with standing water also on roads.

In particular, residents in west Dorset were advised to take care on roads between Park Dean Campsite and West Bay Road.

Some of you braved the storm to take some fantastic photos (from a safe distance). Take a look at our gallery:
