I find it odd that you'd even think of this  Can't say it's ever been a concern to me.

You're talking to me as if I've never ridden a rural or mountain road before 
I have actually done the route I'm thinking of before. The worst, or let's say, greatest potential hazard I found to be some of the blind crests with sharp corners just beyond them. Survived them that time though, and now have foreknowledge of them for next time.
Survived hacking along the N260 and coming round a blind bend to be faced with this, too:

Could have been nasty 
Do you have a motive for trying to put me off?

Agreed, wrong place to post really. What this needs is a thorough report with more photos in "Touring and Exploration". Please!

Not many photos today, but propped the Mrs up on the back today. Went to get her some new gear and took the scenic route.

Camping with the family this weekend. Undecided to take the extra long route. Found some nice Twisties along the route and a few nice places to stop and take in the sights. Nice afternoons ride.

I walked all of that in 12 very enjoyable days back in May of 2012 - good memories. Camped in a field behind Chesil Beach among other places.

That's part of the South West Coast Path, goes all the way from Poole to Minehead, with only occasional interruptions where the path becomes unsafe - as you saw. One of the best, if not the best, long distance walks in the UK.
