THREE youths stuck on cliffs after being cut off by the tide, were taken to safety by Isle of Wight rescue services.

At around 7pm this evening (Sunday) HM Coastguard received a report the teenagers got into the predicament at Luccombe.

Bembridge RNLI lifeboat was launched at 7.02pm and coastguard rescue teams from Bembridge and Ventnor were alerted and sent.

The teenagers were eventually able to make their way down the cliff safely to the lifeboat and were taken to Bembridge Lifeboat Station unharmed.
