COASTGUARDS have been called out to a dangerous cliff fall on Dorset's Jurassic Coast.
Lyme Regis Coastguard team was called to reports of a large cliff fall to the east of Charmouth yesterday at around 11.46am.
On arrival at the scene, a section of the cliff had fallen, with other many areas of the cliff continuing to crumble and fall.
The team placed warning signs in the vicinity and warned members of the public who were in the immediate area.
"Please do not climb these cliffs or walk too close to them," a coastguard spokesman said.
"The recent cold snap followed by the milder weather and the rain, significantly increases the risk of cliff falls and landslides. These collapses will happen without warning, so please be vigilant and stay safe."
For emergencies at the sea, cliffs, rivers, mud, harbours and beaches - call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
