A huge section of a cliff face has collapsed at a popular North Yorkshire walking spot.
The land slip happened on the Cleveland Way route in Filey, near to the Blue Dolphin Caravan Park.
Around 60 meters of the cliff along the coastline was affected in what the Cleveland Way Rangers have called a “significant” collapse.
Dramatic pictures show where the pathway now goes straight towards the edge of the eroded cliff face where the land fell away.

Part of the Cleveland Way route has been pushed back 10m on Monday (August 7) to make it safe for walkers.
A North York Moors National Park Authority spokesperson said: “We can confirm that this was a significant collapse, impacting a stretch of about 60m along the coastline.
“The Cleveland Way National Trail Maintenance Ranger visited the site yesterday, and with the approval of Blue Dolphin Holiday Park, the path of the Cleveland Way has been rolled back by about 10m, which means there is now a safe route for walkers.”
