I wonder if the heatwave has caused these falls, anyway be careful.

Yes, she was seen walking away before the fall. Coastguard reporting more cracks in the cliff meaning further falls likely.

Has the golf course shortened yet.

The site of these falls at splash point is where there was once an Iron Age hill fort and then there was a Roman occupation, both presumably a fair way inland in those times. How long before the A259 has to be moved inland west of Telscombe? Interesting to think that many years ago Brightonians used to live on land that stretched beyond the end of the Palace Pier (according to a local historian anyway).

18th is now a Par 3, with a bridge over the new coastal inlet to get to the all important 19th hole

My wife and I often walk on Seaford Head. There has been,for a long time, a huge crack in the path that leads along the top down to the Coastguard cottages . It was gradually widening and fairly apparent that at some point the cliff would break away and fall into the sea. It did not stop foolhardy souls from approaching the cliff edge, usually to have their photos taken. Luckily, no one hurt in these two latest incidents, but I fear there will be casualties in the future

if the land keeps slipping away they will change it to a pitch and putt
