Parts of the old sea wall between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth have been closed off until further notice due to storm damage.

Pictures taken by Network Rail show how Storm Ciarán took large chunks out of the top of the wall in places.

The sections that have been closed are between Coastguards Cottages and Langstone Rock at Dawlish, and between Smugglers' Cove and Sprey Point near Holcombe.
