On the brink! Beautiful thatched cottage in Devon sits precariously close to cliff edge after huge rockfall

 

          

The white, conical roofed property is now just 40ft from the sheer drop at the eroding Sidmouth cliffs in Devon, along the Jurassic coast. Aerial photos capture how huge sections of the 185 million-year old cliffs have already given way in recent months, leaving the homeowners at nature's mercy. A few hundred yards further along the coast, thousands of tons of debris plummeted to the ground near Jacob's Ladder just last weekend.
