Coastguards warn of cliff danger

Coastguard rescuers meet at the Happisburgh seafront

Coastguards in north Norfolk are warning people to stay away from hazardous cliffs at Happisburgh.

At the weekend the lifeboat rescued a woman who fell 30 feet to the beach below.

She was not injured, but rescuers said the incident should act as a warning to local people and tourists.

Coastguard Terry Beane said: "They walk along the cliffs and I don't think they really realize or appreciate the dangers that there are."

Some seafront areas in Happisburgh were badly eroded by storms in 1953 and 1978, causing houses to collapse.

Huge boulders have been placed at the foot of some of the cliffs.
