However, the hole has grown wider every year since its discovery.
The sinkhole is now so big a hidden beach has been revealed with the sea forcing its way through a crack in one of the cliff walls.
The clifftop region is managed by the National Trust they have warned walkers and dog owners to avoid the area.
Beach artist and former GP Clair Eason revealed the sinkhole in photography while exploring the coastline near her home.

Ought to blow it. It’s going down one way or another. Some idiot will prove Darwins broken clock theory yet again, if the natural structure remains in place. The geology of the coast of England is old and crumbled.
Secret underground beach? Dang, now that the secret’s out, it will be swamped with tourists. Have to find a new underground beach.
Funny; this side of the Atlantic had a Souter Hole, too, eroding our SCOTUS for a long time.
