A 200-metre section of the South West Coast Path near West Bay is now closed due to a growing crack in the clifftop.

Over the last three weeks, this large section of the cliffs in west Dorset has been monitored as it shows signs of steadily collapsing down onto the beach and sea below, with a 90m long crack seen in the clifftop.

⚠️ Access to this section of cliff and coast path has been closed, and walkers are also being asked to avoid the beach below the cliffs in this area ⚠️

The adjacent landowner – Highlands End Holiday Park – has kindly granted permissive access so that the public can still follow the coast path.

Walkers can find a map detailing the permissive diversionary route at either end of the closed section of path. The route is also signed along its length.

Walkers with mobile phones are being advised to take a photo of the map on the closure notices to use as a reference while continuing along the route.
