Coastal erosion

Rather than fighting the forces of nature - and the law - one family has chosen a different path.

Residents want to move rocks, that have failed to prevent erosion, further along their beach.

Construction vehicles are at work along a two-mile stretch of beach along the capital's coastline.

An engineering report finds the longer the rocks are there, the worse the erosion could become.

The £1.5m scheme at Craster aims to protect the coastline and the nearby wastewater pumping station.

The three-bed cottage is set to go up for auction, with a set guide price of £250,000.

Items from the South Walney spot have been exposed as the soil and rock is washed away.
