Police are not treating the death of a woman who was found at the bottom of the cliffs in Budleigh as suspicious.

A woman from Newton Poppleford, who was in her 50s, was found at the bottoms of the cliffs below Jubilee Park. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The woman was located at the base of cliffs below Jubilee Park.

"Officers attended alongside Coastguard teams from Beer and Exmouth.
