Our tourist trap Broadchurch landmark is about to fall off a CLIFF into the sea… it’s just inches away disaster
A BEACH hut made famous by Broadchurch is just 15ft from plummeting off a cliff following catastrophic erosion.
The chalet was the scene of a murder in series one of the BBC hit show starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman.
After devastating winter storms chipped away at the 140ft cliffs near West Bay, Dorset, the TV-famed home is facing disaster.
Local photographer Graham Hunt said: “It has been getting closer and closer to the cliff over the years and with one big landslip the chalet could fall into the sea.
“Foundations were built for the chalet in a car park three or four years ago but they have been covered up again.”
Vertigo-inducing snaps show the yellow lodge in Eype now perilously close to the edge following recent rockfall.
Landowners the Wingfield-Digbys have owned and used the cabin since 1930.
They have tried for almost a decade to relocate the hut inland.
But Mr Hunt reckons the Broadchurch chalet won’t be relocated any time soon.
A narrow road leading to the chalet is now also on the brink of oblivion, along with a car park.
In Broadchurch, David Tennant and Olivia Colman can be seen standing on land beneath the chalet which has since crumbled away.
The latest landslip comes days after thousands of tonnes of rocks collapsed at nearby Burton Bradstock last Tuesday.
Extraordinary photos show the shoreline below covered in mountains of soil and rocks the size of double decker busses.
Dorset is not the only place being ravaged by erosion.
Homeowners in Norfolk say their properties are also set to fall into the sea following a monster landslip.
Several homes have already tumbled down the cliffs in Hemsby, in the north of Nelson’s county, in recent years.
Ex-soldier Lance Martin was so terrified of losing his home to the sea he dragged it back from the edge.
Speaking last year, he said: “The overwhelming feeling amongst the neighbours is one of despair.”
