Be Safe Along The Coast
Extreme weather: TAKE CARE
2012 has proved the wettest year on record and as a result there is and remains an increased risk of landslides and falling rocks for the next few months.
Therefore our advice, as ever, is to stay away from the cliffs at all times and to be vigilant, particularly for mud flows that may extend across the beaches and falling rocks from the cliffs.
Out on the coast path it is just possible to encounter a new, unreported landslide. Under such circumstances, we would advice you to turn around rather than attempt to cross broken and disturbed ground.
Safety and The Fossil Code
Be safe while you're on the beach, walking along the coast path or collecting fossils.
Read the Beach safety and Fossil collecting guide if you are planning to visit Charmouth and look for fossils on the beach.
Fossil collectors, read the full Fossil Collecting Code and follow best practice.
