IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
LYME REGIS, DT7 3LH

Chalets above and behind the Monmouth Beach carparks. These seem to have been unscathed by the recent slumping of the cliffs to the west. They are not built as close to the foot of the cliffs and I suspect the geology is different.

This path leads west from the car park near the Cobb past some static caravans and beach huts out onto the beach which is a continuation of Monmouth Beach

Looking back to town over the car park (full of boats) and boatbuilding academy at Monmouth Beach. Behind the camera is the undercliff and site of the landslip affected chalets.

Chalets behind Monmouth Beach affected by landslips. According to the BBC, "A row of Dorset beach huts west of Lyme Regis are at risk of being enveloped in a landslip.The road to the huts on Monmouth Beach under the crumbling cliff edge has been closed off indefinitely after a large fall on Tuesday evening." The photo was taken on the Thursday and the chalets are cordonned off, some showing definite signs of having been moved or twisted by the slippage.

Demolition of landslip affected chalets at Monmouth Beach after further rain and landslips of the undercliff during February damaged more chalets and affected water supplies. A major slip occurred on 11th Feb as reported by the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-21414722 and further movement is still being monitored. At least 11 chalet sites have been lost or are unsafe. There were a couple of chalets behind the three on the right of the picture.See Image

Smell the wood, glue, paint, varnish… What struck me was the complexity of making something that is curved in every direction. The skills were evident in the astounding quality. Students were due to launch their boats – built from scratch in nine months – the next morning. https://www.boatbuildingacademy.com

Warning notice posted on the road down to Monmouth Beach warning of landslides. According to the BBC "A row of Dorset beach huts west of Lyme Regis are at risk of being enveloped in a landslip. The road to the huts on Monmouth Beach under the crumbling cliff edge has been closed off indefinitely after a large fall on Tuesday evening." This was taken on the Thursday after. The huts are cordonned off and some have been bodily moved and twisted.
