Cottage left teetering on the brink of 400ft drop after Jurassic Coast cliff fall

It follows the collapse last weekend of a huge portion of the cliff at Jacob’s Ladder Beach between Sidmouth and Ladram Bay, where tons of debris came crashing down, prompting the local authority to close the popular South West Coast Path for safety reasons.
