Published on the13 January 2015

A path in Hastings Country Park has been closed off due to a landslip, just weeks after it reopened.

The recent heavy rain has destroyed the new steps in Ecclesbourne Glen, which were only opened just before Christmas.

“We had a report yesterday (Monday) that the new steps the volunteers and rangers had installed on the coastal path down Ecclesbourne Glen had been affected by a further landslip.

“When we inspected the steps it was clear the landslip is far more dangerous and serious than we first thought. Many of the steps that were put in with the hard work of the rangers and volunteers have gone. The land is continuing to move and the area is extremely muddy.

“The path is now too dangerous to remain open, especially given the further wet weather forecast and the fact that we still have a couple of months of winter weather to come.

“We will erect a temporary barrier but are considering installing a wooden post and rail barrier across the top and bottom of the steps, and provide signage to tell people why the path is closed.

“It is very disappointing indeed that after trying so hard to keep the path open for walkers through Ecclesbourne Glen from the East Hill we have been left with no option but to close it again.”
