ANOTHER landslide has been reported on the Jurassic Coast in west Dorset.

A coastguard crew were forced to fence off a beach due to falling boulders.

Lyme Regis Coastguard were called to Black Ven beach between Lyme and Charmouth after reports of a landslide.

On arrival, the coastguard said rocks had fallen onto the beach below the cliffs and that boulders were still falling while at the scene.

A spokesman from Lyme Regis Coastguard, said: "We were tasked to reports of an active landslip on Black Ven - at the end of the new sea wall to the east of Lyme Regis.

"On arrival, boulders were still falling and there were signs that a large amount of material and rocks had already fallen onto the beach.

"With the slip still active and the tide still in, the coastguard temporarily fenced the beach off directly below the slip.

"With the recent wet and stormy weather, we continued to ask people to remain vigilant and heed warnings to stay away from the cliffs and mudslides this half term."

The landslide was reported on Friday morning.

Black Ven is a popular fossil hunting spot known for its mudslides and rockfalls.

It is the same area where 19th century palaeontologist Mary Anning found fossils that helped to change the understanding of the earth's history.

For emergencies on the sea, cliff, river, mud, harbour and beach call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
