Three seaside caravans are teetering on the brink of a cliff after a landslide the size of two football pitches.

Only one of the caravans at Trimingham House Caravan Park in Norfolk was being used, and the occupant was led to safety following the cliff fall in the early hours.

HM Coastguard and emergency crews remain at the scene.

Members of the public have been warned to avoid Vale Road in Trimingham, near Cromer.

"It was a massive cliff fall with three caravans teetering on the edge," a caravan park spokeswoman said.

"Luckily, only one person was in a caravan and they were evacuated from it."

Tony Garbutt, coastguard sector commander in north Norfolk, said: "The fall happened some time this morning. Some of the caravans are very close to the edge.

"We are looking at a good half acre falling, about the size of a couple of football pitches."
