A section of the Dorset coast has been closed off after a huge landslide near Charmouth on Saturday.
Seventeen people were lead to safety after they became trapped by rising tides following the cliff fall.
A boy also had to be rescued after he was stuck in mud up to his chest, but luckily no one was hurt.
Landslides happen when land near the sea breaks off in chunks because over a long period of time it's been weakened by waves crashing against it.
This landslide was described as the worst one in the area for more than 30 years.
