A walker was air-lifted to hospital after suffering a serious fall on Brean Down on Saturday afternoon (April 9th).

Burnham-On-Sea Coastguards were in the area patrolling at the time and set up a safe landing area to enable the helicopter to touch down while keeping walkers and horses at a safe distance.

The lady was air-lifted to hospital for further treatment.
