A house has been left teetering close to the edge of a crumbling cliff following significant rockfall along the Jurassic Coast.

The property, near Sidmouth, in Devon, is now only 40ft (12m) from the 400ft (121m) drop over the edge.

Aerial photos reveal large sections of the cliffs, famed for their fossils, have collapsed.

"We'd like to remind visitors to keep their distance from cliffs along the East Devon coastline," the council said.

"Cliff falls are a natural and unpredictable occurrence along the East Devon coast."

The South West Coastal Path was already closed following a cliff fall on 25 October.

Drone photographer James Loveridge shared images on social media, showing the dramatic rockfall between Sidmouth and Ladram Bay.
