- Access to Pedn Vounder beach in Cornwall, a popular beauty spot, has been temporarily closed by the National Trust due to health and safety concerns.
- The decision was made because the cliff access path has eroded, becoming unstable with steep drops and a difficult final descent to the beach.
- The National Trust also cited dangerous rip currents at the beach, which have led to frequent emergency service incidents.
- The closure of the beach, known for its scenic beauty and as an unofficial nudist spot, has caused disappointment among locals and tourists during a late summer heatwave.
- The National Trust, which consulted with local authorities and emergency services, has advised visitors to use the nearby Porthcurno beach instead.
