Tourists warned of erosion dangers

East Riding Council has published a new brochure showing how to explore the 53 miles of its coastline safely, and with it reminded those unfamiliar with
the area that it “does hide some natural phenomena which need to be treated with a degree of caution”.

Tourists are being advised to treat all cliffs as dangerous following a number of landfalls on what is one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Europe.

Coun Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic development, tourism and rural issues, said: “People who live locally are aware of the problem but that will not be the case with visitors who don’t know the area. The council has to manage coastal erosion and we must make people aware that cliffs can become dangerous.

“Although the recent events that have happened are rare, it is timely to warn people of potential dangers. By following the advice, visitors can enjoy a relaxing and safe experience on the spectacular East Riding coastline.”
