A LARGE section of a Dorset cliff crumbling was captured on film by a boat rental company.

A huge section of cliff at Seatown Beach, near Bridport, fell down at around 4.45pm this afternoon.

Lyme Bay Rib Charter captured the fall on video.

A warning that a piece of cliff may fall in Seatown was issued by the West Bay Coastguard Rescue Team last week after a crack appeared.

The recent weather - rain closely followed by very hot weather - is likely to have contributed to the cliff fall.
