Ladram Bay: Devon beach remains closed to public after cliff fall

Ladram Bay beach remains closed two days after the collapse

A beach at a holiday park in Devon has remained shut following a huge cliff fall.

Ladram Bay beach near Sidmouth was closed as a precaution following the incident, which happened at around 7am on Sunday 5 May. It remains closed today, 7 May.

Staff at Ladram Bay Holiday Park said they were shocked by the sheer size of the fall but relieved that no was injured or even killed by the collapse.

A large area of rocks collapsed onto boats and stand-up paddle boards moored up onto the beach below.

Barriers have since been put up along all access roads to the beach to stop anyone from going on it.

Will Tottle, assistant manager at Ladram Bay Holiday Park said: "It's hugely upsetting.

"We heard of the news on Sunday morning. It was shock and genuine upset. The beach here is synonymous with Ladram and so we're doing all we can to restore it to its former glory.

"It's vast. It's going to take some tidying up.

"We do regular checks and have an association with local geologists who come and survey the cliff, we manage the risk and through signage offer advice to guests to stay clear."

Geologists are now at the site of the cliff fall, carrying out investigations.

The holiday park says it cannot yet say when the beach will reopen to the public.
