ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE AT HELLS MOUTH.





This happened a couple of weeks ago at one of my favourite places, it is from Hells Mouth on the North Cliffs coast.
Cracks had appeared in a few places over a few days,and a Geologist from Cornwall Council was observing it with his camera when the scene below occoured.





It is estimated that around 200,000 tons of cliff face fell.
There are many landslides along this coast due to coastal erosion but this is the first I have seen captured on video.

  3. Thats creeping towards Camborne and Illogan Monts, Lanner may be under threat. All joking aside that video is mind blowing.
