A LANDSLIDE has left mud and rubble within metres of homes along the harbour wall in Aberystwyth.

The slide occurred at around 10am this morning along the edge of a layby on the road leading to Tanybwlch beach from Trefechan.

Nearby resident, Keith Hiatt, sent the Cambrian News these photos and said: "Fortunately, it hasn't affected the homes, but that van at the top is very close to the edge.

"It appears about a metre's length of land has fallen from the car park area down into the garden."

A spokesperson for Ceredigion County Council said: "The council is aware of the recent landslip and is assessing the situation.

"Public safety is the council’s central imperative."

Natural Resources Wales said it does not have responsibility for the retaining wall.
