Woman dies after falling off a cliff at Durdle Door

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene after having fallen at the popular UK tourist attraction

A woman has died after falling from a cliff overlooking Man o' War beach near Durdle Door and Lulworth in Dorset. Emergency services were called to the scene immediately around 3pm yesterday but it is understood that she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding the nature of the fall are still being investigated but it is thought that the woman was heard shouting "I'm coming down, I'm coming down" as onlookers told her to stop. Eye-witness, Rachel Williams - who had travelled from Maidenhead, Berkshire, to visit what is usually a scenic and peaceful location for British holidaymakers and tourists - was one of several who saw the incident unfold, adding that it was unclear who the woman was shouting to.
