Huge Crack Appears On Dorset’s Jurassic Coast
A huge crack running for 100m (328ft) has opened up along a section of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. It was said to be over a metre deep on April 12th and appeared between Bowleaze Cove and Redcliff Point at Preston near Weymouth. People have been urged to stay away from the popular clifftop beauty spot a as the soil is very unstable. This area is well-known for landslips due to its geology of permeable limestone over impermeable clay. The movement has been going on for several years but this latest slip has happened quickly.
