A 4,000-ton cliff fall, thought to be the biggest in 60 years, blocked off the beach between Seatown and Eype Beach, part of Britain's historic Jurassic Coast in southern England.

The rockfall began on Tuesday, and more movement is expected. The BBC reported that fresh, 1.4-meter deep cracks appeared afterwards. About 300 meters of the cliff has been affected so far, and the path has been fenced off to urge people to stay clear of the area, which is still dangerous, according to local radio station, 106.3FM's website.

"The cliff is still very unstable and more is expected to be lost," The National Trust reported.
