Seconds to spare as Newquay cliff collapses in front of walkers
TL;DR
Five walkers and two dogs were stranded on the Newquay coast path when a large cliff section collapsed in front of them; seconds earlier they could have been swept away. An RNLI lifeboat rescued the stricken group after the area became impassable and the cliff unstable, with coastguards urging people to avoid the area as weather warnings affected the South West.
