Sidmouth Cliff Collapse
On 25th March 2023, a large section of the cliff at Sidmouth, Devon, England, collapsed into the sea. The collapse occurred at around 4.30pm GMT and involved an area of the cliff approximately 100 meters wide and 20 meters high.
There were no injuries as the area was cordoned off due to previous rockfalls in the area, and Sidmouth Coastguard Rescue Team had been monitoring the cliff face. The collapse has caused significant damage to the promenade and the beach below, and the area has been closed to the public.
The collapse is believed to have been caused by a combination of factors, including recent heavy rainfall, erosion, and the geology of the cliff. The cliffs at Sidmouth are made up of soft sandstone and mudstone, which are easily eroded by the sea. The recent heavy rainfall is likely to have saturated the cliffs, making them more unstable.
The collapse has raised concerns about the safety of the cliffs at Sidmouth. The Sidmouth Coastguard Rescue Team is now working with the local council to assess the damage and to determine whether any further action is needed to protect the public.
