A dog walker captured the stunning moment a huge section of the White Cliffs of Dover collapsed into the English Channel.

 

Thousands of tonnes of chalk fell into the sea near Samphire Hoe, Kent, in two separate falls, sending a huge wave rippling through the sea towards France.

 

Footage of the heart-stopping moment showed onlookers gasping as a section of the cliff collapsed into the Channel.

 

This video was shot on the 3rd February 2021.

A huge crack has formed in a cliff near a popular sightseeing spot leaving a dangerous hanging edge. The rock has split at the top of Beachy Head, East Sussex, a popular spot for sightseers, and was captured on camera yesterday afternoon (8). Freelance producer Jay Ryder was walking around the head of the cliff when he spotted the split in the rock.

The Jurassic Coast's biggest rockfall in 60 years: 4,000-ton chunk falls off 430ft high cliff sending boulders the size of cars plummeting towards picturesque beach.

 

An enormous 4,000-ton rockfall from a 430ft cliff has completely blocked off a beach along a stretch of Britain's historic Jurassic Coast.

 

A huge chunk, described as the biggest in 60 years, gave way from the sandstone cliff causing boulders the size of cars to plummet near Seatown in Dorset.

 

Rangers have been assessing the damage throughout the day and Dorset Council is warning people to stay away.

Feels like a metaphor somehow...

The dramatic moment a huge chunk of 150ft tall cliffs comes crashing down on a beach is caught on video.

 

The footage shows more than 1,000 tonnes of ancient rock suddenly collapsing in two stages at West Bay in Dorset.

 

The rockfall happens seconds after a 'little puff of dust' is seen coming from the middle of the sandstone cliff just as it is about to crumble.

 

Moments later a 150ft tall stack falls away and slumps on to the beach.

 

The fall immediately weakens the neighbour rock buttress which then goes the same way.

 

The footage was shot at 10.53am on January 18.

A warning has been issued to stay away from cliff edges after a large crack appeared in a cliff in East Sussex.

 

The crack stretches a couple of metres along a section of cliffs close to the Belle Tout lighthouse at Beachy Head near Eastbourne.

 

There have been several cliff falls in the area, including one in a nearby spot in 2021.

 

Birling Gap Coastguard warned people to "keep safe and stay away from cliff edges and bases".

In the 2021 fall, tonnes of chalk fell on to the beach below the cliffs, cutting off an access path to the former lighthouse.

 

The lighthouse, which was decommissioned in 1902, and is now holiday accommodation, has already been moved due to coastal erosion.
