Footage of rocks, slit and debris dumped onto a local feature in the Lake District, UK by 'two huge landslips' during Storm Desmond.

The video, captured on Tuesday, shows the aftermath and a safety cordon up around the scene.

The filmer added: "The large boulders would have crashed down the hillside and onto the houses below, but fortunately the larger ones were stopped when they smashed into the Thirlmere aquaduct that supplies water to Manchester.."

Storm Desmond not only caused widespread flooding in Cumbria, but also tore away at the landscape. Two massive landslips can now be seen scarring the fell high above Grasmere in the Lake District.

On a fell known locally as Stone Arthur, two huge landslips dumped rocks, silt & debris into Greenhead Gill. The large boulders would have crashed down the hillside and onto the houses below, but fortunately the larger ones were stopped when they smashed into the Thirlmere aquaduct that supplies water to Manchester.
